Hi Jim,

Are your Shrew clients perhaps getting bounced because they're all 
configured to use the same Local Identity (which I think is used in the 
inital contact/Phase 1 negotiations) when connecting to the Netgear?

If you're using XAUTH to identify the users for purposes of assigning 
the different IP addresses to the virtual adapters, that happens kind of 
in between Phase 1 and Phase 2, so by then the Netgear may have already 
decided that it's dealing with a re-connection (because the Local 
Identity info is the same) rather than a new connection.

Just a guess.
