Hi Bastian,

I would look to see if the Phase 1 "Key Life Time limit" and the Phase
2 "Key Life Time limit" in the Shrew site configuration match the
values on the gateway.  Shrew defaults to a Phase 2 Key Life Time limit
of 3600 seconds, which is 1 hour.  Perhaps your Arkoon appliance
expects a longer lifetime?
