Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am attempting to connect a FreeBSD server, 8.1-RELEASE to a Juniper 
J2320 router running the JUNOS operating system. 

The Juniper router I am connecting to has a public IP address of 1.2.3.4.  
The provider has not given me a private IP address and has stated it is 
not needed. 

The FreeBSD server, has a public IP address of 2.3.4.5 and a private IP 
address of 6.7.8.9. 

I am able to create the gif tunnel without any problem.  However, the 
provider I am connecting to has told me there is not a private IP address 
available for the creation of the private IP tunnel.  I will be connecting 
to private addresses in the 5.6.7.0/24 range on the provider's server. 

Here is the output of the ifconfig command.

gif0: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1280
        tunnel inet 2.3.4.5 --> 1.2.3.4
        options=1<ACCEPT_REV_ETHIP_VER>

Following are the relevant route table entries.

1.2.3.4/32  2.3.4.5      US          1      798   bge1
5.6.7.0/24     1.2.3.4     UGS         2      192   bge1

Is it possible to connect to the private address on the provider's server 
without a private IP address?  I have done this before, but I have always 
private IP addresses as well. 

I do not have racoon running yet.  Could this make a difference?


Thanks for your help.



Jay Hall
