Neither of the suggestions worked for me.

I put ike_use_largest_possible_subnets = false in guidbedit and I put an
entry in user.def.

Since we'll only be hitting one server I changed the VPN Domain to a group
that I created with the single node in it (subnet 255.255.255.255).  So in
user.def I put in...

max_subnet_for_range = { <111.222.333.105, 111.222.333.105; 255.255.255.255>
}:

After messing around a little bit (before doing the
ike_use_largest_possible_subnets I was getting an "invalid id information"
message, but now I'm just getting the constantly repeating "Main Mode
Complete" and then an IKE-SA delete from the far end.

Any other ideas?

Do a guidbedit or dbedit and change Setting
"ike_use_largest_possible_subnets" to "false" .

If that doesn't work:

Configure the "max_subnet_for_range" table in $FWDIR/lib/user.def on the
management (SmartCenter) - always backup files before editing.

Table name and format:

max_subnet_for_range = {
<first_IP_in_range, last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask>, <first_IP_in_range,
last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask>, ... <first_IP_in_range,
last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask> };

The network and subnet for IKE negotiation will be determined according to
the table above. Host's IP will be matched on a relevant entry in this
table, entry's subnet will be used for negotiation. For ranges not specified
in the table, the subnet mask will be determined as if
ike_use_largest_possible_subnets were set to "true", wherever is relevant.

The "ike_use_largest_possible_subnets true" setting is there to cut down on
the number of phase 2 key exchanges but it can cause problems.
