[pptp-server] Multi VPN

[Scott Taylor]

Thanks Steve,
 It is as I thought. What software/solution are you using?

My current setup is I have network "A" which is the main domain. "B" 
is a remote office. Plus I have a couple of remote users.

I need to let two nodes from network "B" connect to "A" at the same 
time.

I need to allow multiple VPN connections out of "A" to a VENDOR 
network.

I have two or three remote users that need to be able to VPN to "A"

"A" and "B" are currently behind 2.4 based firewalls.

I've been racking my brain to make this work....I may have to go back 
to the 2.2 based kernel. 

If I created a "gateway" connection from "A" to "B" would that still 
allow multi VPN conections out from "A" to VENDOR?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
 Scully

That was a specific feeature of newer versions of the vpn-masq module 
of 
the 2.2 kernel series that utilized an undocumented and non-standard 
mechanism of Microsoft's.  2.4 kernels follow the standard which 
cannot 
support multiple simultaneous connections from one specific IP to 
another. 
 Based on a prior message I saw in this list, poptop on the back end 
will 
not support this even if you are using a 2.2 kernel that does.

Note that if you are trying to do this, it's likely that you would be 
better off setting up a LAN-to-LAN PPTP connection and routing 
traffic 
using the single PPTP connection as a gateway.  I have that set up 
for my 
employer and another closely affiliated associate company.  We have 
NT/RRAS 
on our end talking PPTP to a Netopia DSL router at their end.  One 
connection lets all 4 of them access our LAN, and it doesn't use up 
CPU 
resources on their workstations.
