Re: IPsec replay sequence number overflow behavior? (RFC4303 section 3.3.3)

Rereading the thread it's unclear to me which solution was deemed "correct".  
I'm not a big fan of fiddling/forcing SA lifetimes unless we have no other 
option; if someone is foolish enough to use manual keying with replay 
protection and no mechanism to catch rollover then they most likely have 
larger problems.  It's the whole "we'll provide you with the gun, but you 
have to shoot yourself" argument as applied to SA lifetimes.
Also, the ipsec rfc require auotmated SA management when 
using anti-replay service and that the option be disabled 
when SAs are manually setup.

It may not stop anyone, but we can always point to rfc. :-)
