1. You create the gif tunnels (firewall-firewall) 2. you encrypt the gif tunnels (firewall-firewall traffic, or leave this for last) 3. You integrate it with your current routing setup and just treat the tunnels as another leased line. Without knowing how your network routing is setup it's hard to be more specific on this part. Read the man page for gif and ifconfig and do a bit of trial and error. The feeling of the head spinning will go away pretty quickly and you will have a solution you feel confident with. If you don't get that feeling don't use it. This works the same with or without IPsec. The gif setup is one ifconfig command on each end, I doubt you'll need help with that.man page, tcpdump, trial/error. /Tony -- Tony Sarendal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] IP/Unix -= The scorpion replied, "I couldn't help it, it's my nature" =-
