>From RFC4301:

   Note: This document mandates support for several features for which
   support is available in IKEv2 but not in IKEv1, e.g., negotiation of
   an SA representing ranges of local and remote ports or negotiation of
   multiple SAs with the same selectors.  Therefore, this document
   assumes use of IKEv2 or a key and security association management
   system with comparable features.

I need to think about this more before making my mind for this. My
initial feeling do say that we should bind it to the IKE
authentication, i.e. the to the Diffie-Hellman exchange.

Me too...
