Does anyone know of a way to get around a problem, where for example

If one side is not able to change then what options are there, what if both
sites cannot change their internal ip addressing,


what are ways to get around ip conflicts in VPN's, has anyone come
across this
and got any ideas?

The obvious solution is to use unique addresses. While this may be a bit of a problem with IPv4 this should no longer be an issue with IPv6.

A work around is to translate remote addresses to an address unique to your network and the other way around. I must admit it is a pain to configure because you need to make sure you translate the addresses before you ener the tunnel.

So if you don't translate IP adresses on the client side yet your cooked anyway.

I know customers that require the use of unique addresses to build VPN tunnels. If you are a hosted SAP company (forexample) that makes a lot of sense.
