The other solution Maarten alluded to is NAT-T which is a UDP encapsulation of

We would like to however there are a few patent infringment issue being tossed
about with regard to NAT-T.  The IETF was in the process of making NAT-T a
standard but these patent infringment issues have stop things for the time
being.  Some vendors that have support for NAT-T most likely are violating the
patents.

Paul, I'm not sure I understand the above. If someone's using a VPN client to tunnel
out from behind a gnatbox, what needs to be supported by the gnatbox? It just has
to do NAT correctly, no? I didn't think the gnatbox in Matt's scenario is participating
in the VPN except insofar as behing the NATing firewall he's behind. Or am I missing
something?
