thanks for all the suggestions folks!   While very nitchy and sure not to
be a wildly popular function,  it would be nice to see,
"policy-routing/nating" based on matching an ACL which can make decisions
based on data from the higher layers.

his set up is one comprised solely of virtual hosts and networks (excluding
the router/firewall which run on its own hardware) under an ESX
environment.  They have about 12 customers and each has VMs and their own
L2 network and hosts.

For now it looks as if the jump host will be the best go.   Have one set up
where all the clients connect to and based upon who they log in as, will
determined what they see/have access to.

The VPN idea is a good one but they would rather not add more gears to the
machine which may generate support issues.


thanks again and have a great weekend,
greg
