[Swan] Centos7 Libreswan to cisco ipsec with sourceNAT?

You should be able to use an iptables rule something like:

iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat {traffic_identifier} -j SNAT --to-source 
10.27.89.0/24

I'm not sure if --to-source should be 10.27.89.0-10.27.89.255.

The problem is the {traffic_identifier}. The easy solution would be to 
use "-d remote_LAN_subnet", but if this also exists on your LAN you have 
a problem. You may be able to use "-m policy --pol-ipsec --dir out", but 
the overlapping subnets may be the killer anyway and stop any traffic 
passing.
