it would depend on the router at site A ... I'm no longer familiar with the Sonic TZ, last worked with them about 3 years ago or so, and had a MISERABLE experience with their support out of India. Haven't touched one since. but if you set up the site-to-site tunnel and then specify the far end subnet via the tunnel gateway, and then use their proxy/egress as the default gateway that should work fine, with no other rules on the site a router to allow direct access to the cloud.

I am toying with the idea of placing both sites on the same network (i.e. 10.2.0.0/16) and then providing the machines at Site A with a default gateway of the proxy server at Site B. However, I'm not convinced that this will work. I mean, if the Site A machines don't use their local VPN device as their gateway, how will that device know to forward packets over the VPN to the proxy server at Site B? Customer doesn't want to set up static NAT entries on the VPN device at Site A for all the other network resources they need to access at Site B (Exchange, Sharepoint, and more) otherwise I think we could just leave Site A on a 192.168.0.0 network and NAT the proxy server at Site B to a 192.168.0.x. address. To complicate things further, customer has a Sonicwall TZ170 on one end and a Cisco PIX on the other. They are willing to change the Sonicwall to a PIX / ASA if that will facilitate the setup. Any ideas? Hey, you didn't all go home for the weekend, did you? --Adam No virus found in this incoming message.
