Hi all!
Due to ongoing reorganization of our network, I'll be faced with having
several groups of clients behind firewalling routers. Behind each
router, clients will get a private address via DHCP. While the routers
themselves will have public, static IP, the clients inside each NATed
network will be basically a soupy mess, so assigning a port for each
client would be a chore. This wreaks havoc with having the backuppc
server contacting each client for backup, since the clients are
inaccessible from the outside, unless they are the ones starting the
connection as per usual transparent NAT/proxying.
I think the easiest way would be having a client on each computer, being
responsible for waking up and initiating communication with the backuppc
server, which will have a public IP address. Has this been done, is it
possible?
My second option at this point is to establish a sort of VPN between the
NATed segments and my backuppc server. Does someone have a setup like this?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
- Daniel
