Faced with almost exactly the same situation a couple of years ago, I used vtun (http://vtun.sf.net/). The home machine was the server and the work machine was the client. The client was configured to retry creating the connection once a minute to a dynamic DNS address, so if any one of the two machines (home/work) is rebooted, the connection is soon restored. It works by sending IP over UDP, so it traverses a NAT firewall that doesn't regulate egress connections. It creates a virtual subnet (e.g. 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2) between the two machines, so as long as it is up, you can ssh from any machine to the other one. The most convoluted demo of this technology was showing a VNC client running on my work machine, connected to a server on the Windows that was running in VMWare on my home Linux computer. :-) --Alex __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
