I'm trying to do something I'm pretty sure I recall reading couldn't be
done. Although I wasn't able to find any information this last time around.
We're going to be temporarily splitting our data centre, but still want
both data centre halfs connected to our office through our VPN. Everyone
needs to maintain the same subnet as we have software that is licensed
based on the subnet it is on.
So:
192.168.120.x <-> 192.168.121.x <-> 192.168.120.x
I don't care if the two .120's can talk to one another, I just need to
be able to talk to both .120's from the .121
Now, some cursory poking around, using a local ID type of
IPV4_ADDR_SUBNET is no good. Using IPV4_ADDR isn't working for me, as
the .121 firewall (understandably) doesn't know to route the internal
traffic that way.
So, immidate question would be, would there be a way to add routing
table entries for the specifc IPs I want going to the second .120
network? I understand how arp requests work, but obviously not how an
arp proxy works, as I wasn't able to fix "network unreachable" errors.
If that's a no go, is this even possible? At all? I'm willing to do
bizarre things. The other thought I've had is to have a .130 subnet on a
vlan and the second .120 on another vlan, and then just translate packets.
Any help appreciated.
