Can't route traffic between 2 branch offices both connected via IPSec to a Head Office

I have a Head Office and two Branch Offices.

I have an IPSec tunnel created between each Branch Office through to the Head Office.

 

Branch 1               192.168.83.0/24

connects through Tunnel 1

Head Office           10.0.5.0/24

connects through Tunnel 2

Branch 2                192.168.87.0 / 24

 

The IPSec tunnels both come up and work.

I can get traffic to/from each Branch Office through to the Head Office. All good.

 

However, I cannot get traffic from either Branch office through to the other Branch Office.

 

This is what I have done:

I have firewall rules on all firewalls allowing traffic to/from each of the 3 subnets.

On the head office, I specifically created a rule that allowed traffic between Branch 1 and Branch 2

 

On all the firewalls I added ipsec_route commands in the console, so that firewall knows to route the other branches subnet down the tunnel.

If I do a packet capture on a source branch firewall I can see traffic destined to the other branch enter into the IPSEC tunnel to the head office.

At the head office using packet capture I can't see the traffic arrive (however this may be that the IPSEC traffic doesn't show in a packet capture)

 

I believe the problem is in the head office firewall and it isn't routing the incoming traffic through into the other ipsec tunnel.

 

Due to the way the network works, I cannot create a third IPSEC tunnel directly between the branch offices. My only choice is to route it through head office.
