I would use openvpn. You need to select one to be a vpn server and another to be a vpn client. You just create a basic vpn connection that connect the two together. Then on each one add a route for that points at the vpn address as the gateway for that subnet. BTW the addressing is wrong there. You can't one one be 192.168.100.1-192.168.100.99 and the other be 192.168.100.100-192.168.100.199. The That netmask is not possible. You can do a 28 bit netmask, which will give 126 address to play with on both networks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
