Routing problem in IPv4/IPSec VPN environment

I sent the following to -questions yesterday and received no
response, so I thought I'd try a more specific venue for this post.
As a personal favor, I am building a VPN for a small business. I
have chosen FreeBSD for this due to my greater familiarity. The
project will consist of linking four sites, each with a FreeBSD
system providing DHCP, NAT, and VPN services. I have built DHCP and
NAT servers before, but the IPSec and VPN is new to me.
Right now, the first two systems are nearly complete. The two
machines are named goldengate and waltwhitman. Here's the IP
config, currently:
goldengate: external 192.168.1.101 internal 10.1.1.1
waltwhitman: external 192.168.1.102 internal 10.1.2.1
The external interfaces are in the reserved space because testing is
taking place behind a cable/DSL router providing NAT services. The
output of "gifconfig -a; ifconfig -a; netstat -rn" for each will be
provided at the end of this message.
IPSec, with Racoon, is properly exchanging keys. From goldengate, I
can ping 10.1.2.1 and from waltwhitman I can ping 10.1.1.1.
If a Windows computer is connected behind either system, they
receive an IP (10.1.x.254, where x is the network number).
The problem is, if behind the 10.1.2.1 firewall, I cannot ping
10.1.1.1 and vice-versa. I assume, at this point, this is some type
of routing issue and not a problem with IPSec. This seems to be
confirmed by the fact tracerouting to the local internal interface
goes through the *other* internal interface first:
waltwhitman$ ifconfig bge1; traceroute 10.1.2.1
bge1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
inet 10.1.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.2.255
inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe60:e508%bge1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:09:5b:60:e5:08
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
status: active
traceroute to 10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets
1 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) 0.848 ms 0.736 ms 0.783 ms
2 10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1) 1.173 ms 1.262 ms 1.247 ms
The other machine behaves identically, except the numbers are
reversed. At this point, I have reached the limits of my knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, James
Notes on the output: IPv6 info removed from netstat output. There
is a third interface in WALTWHITMAN which may break off to a DMZ in
the future. No descision has been made and won't be for some time.
The interface was given the IP 172.16.1.1.
