for example let say that i have a dns server on a private net ( 10.10.0.1) and i have the www ip (firewall) 1.2.3.4 and i wish to use this dns i understand that it should be done using tun. next i could create a new route using tun (or anything like it) to 1.2.3.4 : tun0 will has an aceptable ip or any other way it can work inside the other private net. so if tun0 is the tunnel : # route add -host 10.10.0.1 dev tun0 so i would add nameserver 10.10.0.1 and could search in the dns. next i wish to use build server (that has ssh ) 10.10.0.2 so simple route : # route add -host 10.10.0.2 dev tun0 etc ... by this i can work without any extra settings on the servers. -- ---==== Jabka Atu ===--- bsh83.blogspot.com ---=== Encryption is a way of life ===--- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
