this would be kind of hard to implement if your IPsec Hub / DialUP server FGT is behind another FortiGate and doesnt have a public IP assigned to it.

 

one option would be to create VIP on the 60F for 40F , like the one described here - https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Configuring-a-FortiGate-in-the-middle-for-2-other/ta-p/270548
