[pptp-server] poptop directory

[Matthew Ramsay]

I've been thinking some more on a PoPToP VPN directory service.. Here's my
thoughts so far:

Since on the windows client end the only options are the IP address of the
pptp server a VPN directory service would only operate for 1 pptp server.. I
cant think of a way around this without adding in some extra windows client
support :-(

3 Machines:
machine (A) is a  Windows 98 client -- say a telecommuter.
machine (B) is a PoPToP server in the office. The company only goes online from
8am-5pm everyday and their IP address for the server changes each day.
machine (C) is a PoPToP directory server on the net somewhere with a permanent
ip address and connection.

Procedure:
1. B goes online at 8am and sends its ip address to C
2. A always makes a pptp connection to C which transparently hooks up machines
A and B.

Immediate problem with this is that machine C can only handle 1 pptp server (in
this case B). Ideally machine C would handle 1000's of A's and B's. Does anyone
see a way around this?

cheers,
matt.
