how to use a static route to "bounce" traffic ?


Hi,

I have been talking to Bill Grant about a 2003 site-to-site VPN when both
2003 server have a single adapter. I dont fully understand.

He suggested that:

" If the RRAS server is not the default gateway of the LAN (eg if the client
machines have their default gateway set to the router), you will need to add
extra routes to get the VPN traffic to the RRAS router. The easiest way is
to add a static route to the gateway router to "bounce" the traffic for the
"other" private LAN to the RRAS router".

As I cant get hold of him i was hoping someone else could provide a quick
answer.

If the networks at both sites were configured as below:

---------------------------------------
net
v
gateway router (192.168.0.1)
v
switch > 2003 server (192.168.0.2)
v
clients (192.168.0.#)
----------------------------------------

1. when adding a static router to the gateway router i have the following
fields to populate:
-Route Name
-Active (y/n)
-Destination IP Address
-IP Subnet Mask
-Gateway IP Address
-Metric
-Private (y/n)

1. Is Bill suggesting that:
- add static route to gateway router pointing to internal 2003 server
- clients still use the gateway router as the network gateway
- by entering a static route all traffic (http, ftp, pptp) etc will be
redirected to 2003 server

2. Also, STATIC ROUTES only allow a single IP address per route. Surly that
would mean a single STATIC ROUTE per clinet pointing to the server. The
server would be the only IP without a STATIC ROUTE on the gateway router and
therefore all traffic from it would pass through the gateway router ?

This is the way I understand how it would work.

Thanks again for your time.
Scott.
