Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get FreeS/WAN to work on my Linux machine(Redhat 7.3, 2.4.18-27.7.x Kernel).
I followed the instructions on the Free Swan website (http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.99/doc/quickstart.html) and managed to install it on my computer. When configuring it I came across a step where it asks me to insert my DNS KEY record (generated by the command 'ipsec showhostkey') in DNS.
This is where I am stuck. I have tried searching the web and couldnt find any relevant information on this. Where exactly do I have to insert this key? Is it on the machine I am installing Swan on or somewhere else? What is this key anyway and why is it required?
Thanks in advance for the help.

PS: I am using Ver 1.99 of FreeS/WAN
