openswan also=

Have anyone here had much experience using also= in openswan? I can't
seem to get it working. My ipsec.conf file looks something like:

conn %default
leftnexthop=%defaultroute
rightnexthop=%defaultroute

conn MES197
auto=start
left=10.217.101.212
leftrsasigkey=...
right=10.217.101.197
rightrsasigkey=...
rightsubnet=192.168.16.0/24

conn MES197_1
also=MES197
leftsubnet=192.168.9.0/24

conn MES197_2
also=MES197
leftsubnet=192.168.10.0/24


This currently gives me the following connection:
10.217.101.212---10.217.101.254...10.217.101.254---10.217.101.197===192.168.16.0/24

What I want is 2 connections:
192.168.9.0/24===10.217.101.212---10.217.101.254...10.217.101.254---10.217.101.197===192.168.16.0/24
192.168.16.0/24===10.217.101.212---10.217.101.254...10.217.101.254---10.217.101.197===192.168.16.0/24
