David:
Heya. Have you given Kaboodle a try? It provides a
functionality similar to SSH tunnels for remotely accessing all
of the VNC servers on a given LAN, but IMO it's better integrated,
having a builtin VNC connection manager and server-detection
system. You can find it here: "www.Kaboodle.org". It's Windows
only right now, and it uses Zebedee as the secure-tunnel.
I won't spam this list with two many details, but it
works like this: install Kaboodle on a PC in each of the two
LANs, and setup the firewalls to port forward TCP 4182 and
11965 (adjustable) to the two PC's. Once the two LANs are
connected, you can initiate any number of VNC connections from
one side to the other, and the data will all "share" the one
tunnel between the two LAN's. Kaboodle can do a secure file-
transfer across the connection (or, of course, intra-LAN) as
well.
It's a little edgy in places, but I'd be interested in
what you think. I'm working now on a version that allows for
a secure tunnel to be setup that doesn't require touching the
firewall settings on either side of the connection.
cheers,
Scott
