VPN Tunnel and VPN Client at same time GrantH 05-10-2007

I have a Linksys VPN router which allows multiple VPN end-to-end
tunnels, which works fine. However, to use a software VPN client
(CheckPoint, Cisco, etc.), the router's IPSec pass-through must be
enabled, which breaks the tunnel(s), and vice-versa.

Linksys has already explained that this is a limitation. I'm looking
for a device (broadband router, VPN concentrator, whatever) which will
allow this implementaion, or an alternative setup with perhaps 2
routers, a router and concentrator, etc.

Our new office has 5 static IPs, I'm hoping I can come up with some
solution where any host w/in the LAN could use a connected VPN tunnel,
while another host used a software VPN client to make a different
connection.

Any help on this?

Thanks in advance!

Why?

Don't you have a s/w client for the linksys?

No - The sw client is used to make a non-tunnel VPN connection, from a
LAN workstation, to one of our clients somewhere outside, who are
configured to connect via a regular VPN client. The tunnels are used
for other clients who want the added security of an endpoint-to-
endpoint dedicated tunne. With our current router, no VPN client will
work unless the router's pass-through is turned on - but when turned
on, the router ONLY passes the IPSec traffic, and will no longer use
it for any dedicated tunnels.

You will have to find a simpler way to accomplish the end goal.
