Before commenting on the specifics, in general let's look at what you are
trying to accomplish.
You----internet?-----network_1-----network_2------destination
|----VPN_tunnel-------| |------VPN_tunnel-----------|
tunnels are effectively point to point links. If I understand what you are
saying, tunnel end points will have to be formed from you to network_1 and
then there is a second tunnel with endpoints in network_1 and network_2
your traffic will be encrypted on your station, and decrypted at the
termination point in network_1
hhmmm..... I think I am not understanding how this second tunnel will be
formed. Can you clarify with an ascii art?

Subject: VPN Tunnel-in-a-Tunnel [7:528]
Hi All,
I am in a situation where I need to VPN-tunnel into a private network using
IPSec, and again use another VPN Gateway (located in the private network) to
VPN-tunnel into a second private network, again using IPSec. In effect, I
have to use two different VPN-clients on my PC, and logically, it becomes a
situation of tunnel-in-a-tunnel. I hope I am able to explain what I am
trying to accomplish. Let me also clarify that I have no other path into the
second network other than through the first network.
Now my questions to the list are:
1. Any disadvantages of such a setup ?
2. Any better and less-involved alternates ?
3. Any other things that I need to be aware of.
4. Any Internet resources that someone is aware of which deals with the
specific situation.
Thanks in advance.
