Lee,
Look into the Cisco ASA5505 as a home router/firewall alternative.
You may also want to look into using them for LAN-to-LAN VPN Tunneling.
That would eliminate the issue of multiple VPN pass-through.

Lee,
What device on the inside of your network are the inbound VPN
connections terminating on?

Not your typical WLAN question...
We use L2TP/IPSec VPN for remote access into campus for home users,
travelers, vendors, etc. Other than secure remote access, we also like
to tout this as a way to secure home wireless network sessions for
those who don't otherwise turn on their security options. Here's the
problem: we have a growing number of cases where multiple (usually 2,
like spouses or roommates) users attempt to VPN through the consumer
class SOHO routers (wired and/or wireless). When more than one session
is attempted, either the first is the only one that works, or the
first gets bumped.
We have done some research on units that promise multiple session
pass-through (like DLink's WGT624, for example) but are not having
luck. So- wondering if others have the same problem with remote users
and multiple VPN sessions through the SOHO boxes, and if you have
found a model or two that are friendly to multiple sessions (without
fixing IP addresses and doing port forwarding/triggering).
Thanks much-
Lee
