Craig, Is there a reason that you want the traffic to the 2nd Bering box to "flow through" the school's lan. Instead of a VPN I would setup a dmz. add a third interface to bering and run your lan behind it and the school's lan on the 2nd interface.
Internet--------bering------your private lan (honey pot) | | schools lan If your dead set on a VPN use IP/Sec. It's supported by the Free S/WAN project for linux and Bering. good luck chris >From: "Craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "LEAF" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 09:29:38 -0700 >Subject: [leaf-user] Bering VPN questions-School project > >Hi folks, >At our high school, we have some extra, public IP addresses.
