The DMZ which the ADSL router is on also hosts another web-server (swafl.org amongst others) and changing the ip's and punching another hole through the firewall is all a bit much just for testing a system that will be shipped off to Mackay soon. And also its twin which will be shipped to Perth. The second one for Perth should be a lot easier. I've actually got it working. It took some iptables --insert forward, accept, and masquerade lines to do it. Eventually found a Howto on the pptpclient.sourceforge site after much googling. I then looked at putting this in the templating system, decided that was too hard. So I dropped them in a bash script, and called it from rc.local. My home network now looks really weird, because there's two routers from the internal lan out to the adsl modem. My original freesco box, and the SME unit under development/test.
