Hello All!

Please excuse me, I'm new to the list and hopefully I'm not repeating
anything posted before (a quick look through the archives hint I might be
OK).  I've already posted to the FreeS/WAN mailing list, but someone
suggested I might want to post here.  Sorry if it's not the place, and
I'll keep it short.

My problem is that I have a well established network with 3 class C
subnets on it -- one for equipment with static addresses in them and 2
used in a dynamic dhcp pool.  I would like allow the dynamic people to
connect to a VPN so their traffic between themselves and the router (or
shortly before the router).  The diagram would look something like this:

__________             ___________     __________
| client | ----------- | VPN Box | --- | router |
----------             -----------     ----------

Because of the well established nature of the network and the literally
hundreds of pieces of equipment that would have to be reconfigured by
hand, I'm hoping to have the VPN Box do bridging as opposed to routing, so
the subnets will be the same on either side of the VPN Box.  I've
downloaded FreeSWan and have the linux bridge working, but they don't seem
to be playing nicely together. Has anyone ever tried this or heard of
anyone trying this or actually gotten it to work?  Thank you for your
time.
