Hello everybody,

Is there a way to use IPSec in such a scenario:

Server: fix IP
some clients: fixed IPs
some clients: dyn. IPs

All HowTos/Manuals I read just explained how to set up an IPSec with 2 Fix
IPs (as far as I understood it).
But how can I set up a VPN if a client has a dynamic IP (e.g. a DSL-Line
at home).

Make your life easy. There was an article just yesterday on undeadly.org about setting up IPSec in 4 minutes flat:

http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1859

and if you read the article, you will notice this as well:

"The reader should note that while this configuration uses numeric IP addresses, the configuration can also be done with fully qualified domain names. To use domain names, simply copy the keys into the /etc/isakmpd/pubkeys/fqdn directory, and use srcid and dstid keywords in you /etc/ipsec.conf flow specifications"

So, you could also use dynamic DNS provider for your dsl changing IP's and be done with it.

Just a thought anyway. Sure worth the try and, hey in 4 minutes, what do you have to waist trying it! (:>
