Hi,
I am putting a proposal together to implement a VPN for a client.
They can save $25.00/month/location ( 5 locations, so it's a significant
amount of $$/year ) if I can get this thing going using DHCP instead of
static IP addresses.
I have set up a VPN using static IP addresses & shared keys before, and
I think it should be possible to set the VPN up using dynamic IP addresses
using ISAKMPD.
The man(8)isakmpd states:
The events that control isakmpd... user input via a FIFO or by signals,
Would this mean that the DHCPD could send a signal ( somehow ) to the
ISAKMPD when the IP address changed?
I am doing a star configuration, with a static IP address at the hub, so
there will always be 1 known IP address.
Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks,
