RE: [Users] Novell IPX over ipsec tunnel

There should be a writeup on GRE tunnels in the Linux Advanced Routing howto. There should be a pointer to it here: http://www.lartc.org Scroll down about 2/3 of the way and follow the links. This howto assumes you're doing GRE across a real, physical interface. I imagine you would just substitute, say, ipsec0 for, say, eth0 in the writeup.

Subject: Re: [Users] Novell IPX over ipsec tunnel

I have read in several placees about using the GRE but I have not found
any instructions on HOW-TO add it to the vpn. Anyone know of a HOW-TO
that could assist me with this?? I have found the ip_gre.o module, but
not sure where to insert it, or anything else that I have to do to get
it to work.

Your assitance is greatly appreciated
