[Users] Attaching a roadwarrior to a "tunnel hub"

Hi all,

I have some boxes scattered out there on the internet that I am
connecting to a "tunnel hub" as described by http://jixen.tripod.com/. I
have hidden small subnets inside each box, which the private services
(mainly samba) bind to, and this sees to be working fine.

The complication comes in when I need to get ordinary roadwarriors to
connect to this tunnel hub. The subnets in the hub are all subnets of
192.168.0.0/23, and the routing for this "supernet" works great. Trouble
is an external roadwarrior enters the network using it's external IP
address - which the tunnel hub handles great, but which the satellite
boxes don't. The tunnel hub adds a host route to the external IP
addresses, but the satellite boxes don't have this route, so cannot
route traffic back to the roadwarrior.

To get round this, I want to give the roadwarrior an address within my
192.168.0.0/23 subnet. The docs make a vague reference to this being
possible, but gives no concrete details. Can anyone explain how this is
done?

In addition, I understand the X509 patch also allows an IP address to be
assigned to a roadwarrior via DHCP - does anyone have any details on this?

Regards,
Graham
