Ok, while I use RH, I usually roll my own kernels, so I don't keep up
with RH's kernels.  If you don't have ip_masq_ipsec as a module, I
suggest you pull down the source and browse the .config file to see
what's been enabled.  The patch is probably included in the source, but
not enabled.  Not too many of use using it.  Once you get a good 
kernel installed, make your first few connections with your firewall
either down or at minimum to eliminate it as a problem.  I suggest you
do NOT attach the entire network to this box when you do this!  Once
it works, futz with the firewall.

Best
