What would  be a solution for this one?

The setup: In the office SRSS4.2 on Linux (Debian, as it were), at home
Windows XP in VBox on Linux with the Sun Ray soft client installed. I
drilled holes through my firewalls and got the soft client working. So
far, so good.

WAN MTU without fragmentation is 1426, so I changed yesterday the SRSS
server's and the soft client's MTU to 1426. Now I realized that a
database client in said SRSS server cannot open database files on
another server in the LAN while the MTU is 1426 on the SRSS server and
1500 on the database server. Resetting the former to 1500 of course
solved this problem - but I'm in the office now, and I suppose using the
soft client from home with this setup would mean much more fragmented
packet traffic through the bottleneck uplink and worse graphics performance.

How could I configure SRSS to have an MTU of 1426 via LAN and WAN to my
home, and 1500 internally? Or should I set MTUs to 1426 in all nodes of
the LAN - might be a bit tedious? Or connect the SRSS server to the WAN
through an extra NIC (and both firewalls... ugh) - or is this the
typical scenario and reason for using a VPN connection, with OpenVPN as
it were, and an own MTU there (if this is possible at all)?

Any help appreciated...

Best regards,

Andreas Heydwolff
