well, you could also make sure that the IP address they get assigned is one in the same network as their LAN, and ensure that the firewall settings treat their connection as "internal" and it should work just as if they had an ordinary 10/100 ethernet link. rationale: since the dial in server is already on their network, IPSEC may be overkill unless of course you can not trust that those who dial in are members of the organisation only. (donno how they'd get usernames and passwords). gotchas to watch: you may need to use bridging rather than routing if you have the same n/w on more than one interface. at which point i'd recomend you try FreeBSD. The handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook has a ridiculously simple bridging howto (which works). Not sure about bridging on Linux. Either way, p'se post your results and success stories :-D my 2 cents. patrick. > > Wire > > > > > --------------------------------------------- > This service is hosted on the Infocom network > http://www.infocom.co.ug > > > > > --------------------------------------------- > This service is hosted on the Infocom network > http://www.infocom.co.ug -- pokui. --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
