I didn't realize that other vpns wouldnt be able to do it anyway! I get that getting it done requires routes. Or mostly routes. And that's "on the OS side". At the same time SOME of those routes need to be communicated to the OS from inside of Openvpn's config. I think. I'm here on this list because I'm hoping that I'm more likely to bump into people that think about routing across vpns, unlike other places (don't know even which yet) that don't have the vpn pieces in the process. If I'm understanding this so far, to do what I want is a limited # of static routes in a limited number of places. And that I can do that with Openvpn plus 'ip route'. Not needing any "dynamic routing" or more complicated tools like BGP, RIP ,OSPF, Quagga etc. I'd really like to get enough understanding to make this work in & with Openvpn. So I'll stick with it for now. Thanks! Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
