Both ends are Linux boxes so I was thinking I could use CIPE and have the non-NAT end be the server with the NATted end the client. This works out nicely since the Amanda server would be the CIPE client and bring up the tunnel. I'm about to try this with a test machine but thought I'd also ask how other people are handling backups through firewalls across the net?
Here's an ASCII-pic of what it looks like... ---------- -------------- ---------- ---------- | amanda |---| sonicwall | +++ Internet +++ | Cisco |----| amanda | | server | | SOHO w/NAT | | w/ACLs | | client | | CIPE | -------------- ---------- | CIPE | | client | | server | ---------- ---------- The sonicwall runs a non-routable network but the cisco protects a routable network which the CIPE docs say should work. If someone tells me they have this type of situation running with SSH, SSL or stunnel if would make me very happy. Dana Bourgeois
