I have a serious question to ask.

I have 2 gamehalls. Both of them are on masq. networks.
And I need to make them to play games over IPX.
for linux there are a lot of demons for ipx routing, but I don't know what
are for freebsd.
So here is what I did:

	1. on both routers I compiled:
options IPTUNNEL IPXIP and IPX

	2. added the following lines in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_rl0_ipx="ipx 0x00000000"      # Sample IPX address family entry.
ipxgateway_enable="YES"         # Set to YES to enable IPX routing.
ipxrouted_enable="YES"          # Set to YES to run the IPX routing daemon.
ipxrouted_flags=""              # Flags for IPX routing daemon.

	3. did a tunnel over the both routers.
on router1:
nos-tun -t /dev/tun0 -s 172.100.100.1 -d 172.100.100.2 209.1.1.2
on router2:
nos-tun -t /dev/tun0 -s 172.100.100.2 -d 172.100.100.1 209.1.1.1

	4. did:
on router1:
ifconfig rl0 ipx 0x0 ipdst 172.100.100.1

on router2:
ifconfig rl0 ipx 0x0 ipdst 172.100.100.2

and the results:
on both sides I had interface:

ipxip0: flags=11<UP,POINTOPOINT> mtu 1536
        ipx 0.XXXXXXXXXX --> 0


but when a user on the one gamehall creates a game (using Starcraft (LAN))
the other gamehall couldn't join.

So this means that my configurations didn't work.
I tried to change ipdst on both sides to point not to source but dest
but this didn't help.

If you know how can I make this, please tell me.
I've tried to find some documentations about IPXIP or IPXrouted but I
found nothing.

P.S. I know that there are gameservers for starcraft but I gave it just
for example.


thanks.
