We have a network of Linux machines behind a Linux firewall
connected to the internet via a DSL hookup. We also have a
few Linux notebooks that are sometimes plugged into the LAN,
and sometimes at home with folks. These notebooks have
modems, we have ISP accounts for them, and now I'd like to
take the obvious step of getting them secure access to the
LAN when they're dialed in from home.
FreeS/WAN works reasonably well for this application. But
with my current configuration (pulled directly from the
configuration manual page), when the machines are local,
they have one static IP address, and when they are remote,
they have a dynamic IP address. Ideally, I'd like the
notebooks to have the same IP address regardless of whether
they are dialed in or plugged in. This would allow folks
to set up an XTerm on some other machine while on the LAN,
and then fold up the laptop, go home, dial in and continue
using that XTerm.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone done this?
2. Is there a documented example?
3. Is there documentation I can read on how to do it?
