Hi, I have an interesting
problem
I have 81
routers with private
subnets behind
them
192.68.x.x/24
I would like
them all to be able to
communicate over a public
network with each other.
The routers are capable
of doing ipsec (but only
40 tunnels.)
They
can also act as pptp and
l2tp
servers.
I
have a windows 2000
server in the middle to
be a hub.
The
problem is I can not get
all the networks talking
to each other. The 2k
server can talk with them
all and the networks can
all talk with the 2k
server.
I just can
not wrap my brain around
around the problem enough
to get them to use the 2k
server as their hub. The
problem is the routers
have been hobbled
somewhat by not allowing
static routing to be put
on the WAN connection.
Routes can only be added
to the clean
side.
I can use
the 2k server as a router
and even install extra
nics, but I just can't
seem to get it all to
work. I had (somehow)
gotten my test bed of 3
routers and a 2k server
to talk altogether, but
they stopped suddenly
without my doing
anything. I can't
duplicate the
success.
I have
tried everything I can
think of. This would be
so much easier if I could
just route everything
through the vpn
tunnels.
Is
what I am trying to do
possible (I thought it
was even though the
routers are hobbled as
they are, but now I am
unsure)
thanks

The routers
are supposed to be able
to do rip, but the 2k
server never recieves any
replies. The routers are
dlink 804hv's (not my
choice for this type of
thing unavoidable, but I
keep thinking it should
work.)
