Oh,
Ofcourse I should do the [1] trick:
I want to do the following; I have three IPsec endpoints
at this moment, one at home, one in my personal colo environment
and one in another colo environment.
The machine(s) in the personal colo environment are the point
to where all the others connect to. So the other colo env
connects to the personal colo environment, and my home also
connects to the personal colo environment.
I would like to be able to:
Other colo -- ipsec tunnel -- personal colo -- ipsec -- home
Have these communications possible, and ofcourse the other way
around. In the event that another tunnel will be attaching,
I would like to be able to route these packets to the other
host as well (so that I can reach all the IPsec tunneled hosts
from the IPsec network, from where-ever I will be, either road
-warrior, or just at home, or at one of the colo machine's).
Sorry that I did not mention this in my previous email.
Cheers,
Remko
