Likewise. We do use VPNs, but the only thing I need SA to do is to check the actual status of the VPN which I do by means of SNMP checks on the router.

Our VPNs are hardware-to-hardware and are always on. I do not need SA
to be able to establish the connection. I do use a "sanity check" ping
across the VPN as a parent check for all the SA checks made across VPN.
This ping must work for any subsequent checks to be executed by SA.

Subject: [SA-list] VPN connections - "connect via"
In the current release of Servers Alive you can "connect via" a remote
network before actualy doing a Servers Alive check. This "connect via"
uses
the dial-up networking options of the OS. In some cases when we did a
disconnect, the name of the active connection was not reset correctly,
resulting in Servers Alive "thinking" that a certain connection was
still
active while it was not (and as such not connecting when needed). This
has
been fixed in the latest pre-beta build available from
http://Beta.woodstone.nu
Are any of using VPNs that are not using the dial-up-networking option
to
connect to a remote network? And is this connection done automaticly or
do
you have to "start" some kind of application to force the connection to
be
made? If the later is that case would this be something that you would
want
Servers Alive to do too?
