how persistent VPN tunnel between the two firewalls [vpn connection] [firewalls]
Q: Is it possible to have a permanent VPN connection between two firewalls, so the internal network of a firewall, the resources of the other exteneral network access via VPN, without even knowing about VPN (since the firewall will transparent way all?)
Re:Forgot the software router root(pun intended), not a bad idea if you have the hardware lying around, cheap to do, a lot of configurability, matches the high-end stuff in features, not nessesarily as stable, but meh. Look at snapgear if you want a hybrid of these two, they make routers with embedded linux.
Re:You could do this with some elcheapo boxes running Smoothwall on each end.
Re:cisco pix handle this fairly well, all-be-it expensively, there are some yum-cha routers that do it however, but you are better off having the same router at each end
Re:Sounds like you want a site-to-site VPN, yes, you can do that.
