Yes it should be, but the server side code is still incomplete. You
need to send a CISCO_SPLIT_INC XAUTH attribute and then send multiple
"route objects".  This code should be triggered when the client end is
not rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 but rightsubnets={ list of subnets }

On the client side, this already works (interops with Cisco). I can
provide you a log if it helps to see what you need to send.

Yes, that's a problem in the parser code in lib/libipsecconf/ being too
strict.

If you don't get to this, we can hopefully finish this for libreswan 3.10.
