VPN

Hi There,

I have a m0n0wall that is the front end to my business network.  The WAN of the m0n0wall is attached to a high speed DSL connection with a dynamic ip (in CA).  This m0n0wall is attached by VPN to another business location (in WA) that has a sonicwall on a static ip.  This connection works well.

We have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server (in TX) that has 8 available static public ip addresses. The box is loaded with racoon and ipsec-tools.  We would like to establish a second VPN tunnel from one of the public ip addresses on the server in Texas to the m0n0wall with the dynamic ip address in California.  Please note there is no LAN behind the server so the end point needs to be the server itself.  The goal here is to run a script on the server that moves data through the VPN tunnel to another box in CA.

I have read the m0n0wall and Red Hat documentation.  It seems like racoon will be the key to accomplishing this.  I need some help getting started in the right direction.  I've spent about 6 hours so far and I'm not getting very far -- a good push in the right direction would be helpful.

I entered the shell command line of the m0n0wall and tried to find the racoon configuration files for the router thinking that this might help.  I looked through all the directories and did not see anything that caught my eye.  If I had the config file on the m0n0wall, perhaps I could replicate it on the server with some modifications for tunnel direction, end point and the like.

Your assistance on this is appreciated!!

Merry Christmas, Greg
