This sounds pretty much like a common FreeS/WAN problem documented at:
http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.8/doc/config.html#multitunnel

I think you have more-or-less the same problem, just on a different system.

SuSE in Europe has included FreeS/WAN IPSEC since 6.3. For 7.1 it's in the
North American releases too.

Of course I'm not unbiased. I write the FreeS/WAN documentation.
