On the same theme, two feature requests (no idea how feasible), and one question. The question first:
Our WAN is based on the corporate version of Smoothwall, authenticating VPNs via certificates. Does anyone know if the Astlinux VPN will connect to this? At the moment, I am looking at some very small (single-desk) sites having both a Smoothwall and an Astlinux box. I'd love to eliminate the former if possible. Anyone? First request: PPPoA - is this possible in software? Most ADSL in the UK is PPPoA, so I have to have routers as well as Astlinux boxes. Or am I looking at hardware for this? Second request: load balancing of multiple WAN connections, ideally with MPV capability. Thoughts? Thanks Tom On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:26 AM, Tom Chadwin <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow.
