The network is configured as follows: POLE | NORTH | NIC---EAST--SUNRISE East does not have north's certificate cached. East will send a CR to north, and north will transmit its certificate to east via nic. North's certificate is issued by a CA east accepts (cacerts/caCert.pem), and so should be accepted. East has to set "leftca=" so that it will know which CA to ask for. NIC serves as a simple router between NORTH and EAST. The simple test is to connect the POLE and SUNRISE networks together. This is tested with a ping, a la "basic-pluto-03"
