Re: Internet Tunnel Question
Reply to: RE>Internet Tunnel Question
A number of firewall products (e.g., Raptor) do this (or something very
similar)
already, usually called "Virtual Private Networks" (VPN). There's even a
standards
effort initiated by RSA (look in directory http://www.rsa.com/pub/S-WAN/).
Look
also on Raptor's home page.
