I've been wishing for FQDN Network Definitions mainly for VPNs so the hack is manually adding to the ipsec.conf-default file. If you have a config section in the file it will be added to the ipsec.conf file when running. The Right directive is the DNS name of the other end.
This works with a few caveats so far. Sometimes the manualy added tunnels won't come back up if you shutdown the IPSEC engine for a change after having the tunnel up previously. Works best at bootup time. You loose Webmin access to the tunnel but it does show in the VPN Status/Route list and the logs.
I haven't seen what happens if the WAN dynamic IP changes. The normal tunnels will recover from an IP change (like PPPoE). I hope they do the same on manuly added tunnels.
