Not exactly.  I have one openvpn tunnel from my freebsd6.1 machine to 
the openbsd machine via the 192.168.4.0  interface.   There is another 
vpn from a window's machine on a network connected to first linux router 
in the above mentioned netowrk.  what i'm trying to do is connect (not 
through the vpn connection i have from my freebsed ---> openbsd machine, 
but from the standard fxp0 on my freebsd machine to the openbsd box, at 
which time the openbsd machine should route me through to the 
192.168.5.x network.  As i said previously i CAN ping directly to the 
192.168.0.66 machine but for some reason not to the 192.168.5.x network. 
Since i am getting no information from the openbsd machine about the 
192.168.5.x network, i need to manually add the route.  Essentially it's 
safe to forget at the 192.168.4.x network.. that's seperate.

One very important piece of information that i think is the key here, I 
set up tcpdump on all of the  linux and openbsd machines looking for 
icmp from my host as such:

 tcpdump -i ethx host 192.168.3.68 and icmp

I get no packets at all on any of the machines when pinging the 
192.168.5.6 address but when i ping 192.168.0.66 i see them clearly:
tcpdump: listening on eth1
11:19:08.166549 192.168.3.68 > 192.168.0.66: icmp: echo request
11:19:08.166968 192.168.0.66 > 192.168.3.68: icmp: echo reply
11:19:09.167387 192.168.3.68 > 192.168.0.66: icmp: echo request
11:19:09.167794 192.168.0.66 > 192.168.3.68: icmp: echo reply
11:19:10.168507 192.168.3.68 > 192.168.0.66: icmp: echo request
11:19:10.168904 192.168.0.66 > 192.168.3.68: icmp: echo reply
11:19:11.169615 192.168.3.68 > 192.168.0.66: icmp: echo request
11:19:11.170013 192.168.0.66 > 192.168.3.68: icmp: echo reply

This leads me back to the manual route that i put in. It seems that 
something is amiss with that as there are no packets heading for the 
192.168.0.66 machine when i try to ping 192.168.5.6..  ideas???/

thanks,

Aaron
