Linux VPN

[Jesse Manibusan]

Warren,

Thanks for the tip.  I will look into it.  Have you tried this method?
Also, for Roadrunner networks, do you know of a way to let the distant-end
firewall now your ip address if it is not known in advance or if it changes
due to a dhcp lease expiration?

The only way I can think of doing this is having both firewalls post their
ip's on a statically addressed web server or something and have either
firewall grab the ip off of that.  Then I would have to use PERL to parse
the web page and get the ip from it.  Is there another way to accomplish
this?
