You don't say it, but I assume your using IPSec.  The issue is not really a
limitation of the device your using, its a limitation of IPSec and PAT.  One
way around this is to use a VPN device that supports "NAT transparency"
which just wraps a UDP header around the IPSec packet.  The Cisco VPN 3000
concentrator and the Nortel contivity boxes both support this option.

If your not using one of these boxes for your VPN, you should contact your
vendor to see if/when they will support NAT transparency with their product.

Othere than this, I'm not aware of any device that supports multiple IPSec
connections using PAT.

Subject: multiple concurrent IPSec sessions cable/dsl at home [7:22157]


we currently have many vpn users from there homes, some have needs for
multiple connections.  While the Netgear, SMC devices work great for
internet connectivity and add some layers of protection, their lack of
support for multiple connections has me searching for another device.  Have
you any device that will allow for this type of setup, or any suggestions
for workarounds.

I appreciate any input on this.
