Matthew, can you verify if the dhcp over ipsec code is in the 2.1.0 beta 5 
release? I vaguely remember you said it was going in, in the 2.1.0 series or 
was that 2.2 ;-)

When I choose dhcp over ipsec for auto configuration, under address method 
there's only one choice "use virtual adapter and assigned address"

and below that obtain automatically is greyed out and I have to put in an ip 
address.

I do have "obtain topology automatically" checked under the policy tab.

I am just testing a working tunnel (against a Fortinet Wifi 60a) that I was 
using under beta 1 or 2 IIRC with the beta 5 before attempting to connect to 
the TZ170.

Sadly I am not able to bring the tunnel up under beta 5, seeing a few 

resend 1 packet(s) for phase1 exchange  x2
then resend limit exceeded for phase1

then the tunnel gets brought down and deleted.  Same happens with 
autoconfiguration disabled.
