Subject: Multiple PPTP connections from same public IP ?
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:36:20 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46AFAB54.5020602@pason.com> (raw)

Hey,

	I am running Centos 4.4 fully patched and am having a problem PPTP connections.

Right now the PPTP server is on the public network and is working correctly for connections from all clients. We have a private network from behind a firewall, let's call 
it firewall A. A single client from behind firewall A can connect with out a problem, however if a second client tries to connect from behind firewall A it looks like 
firewall A does not forward the PPP LCP packets.

Am I correct that mutliple GRE (proto 47) tunnels would be a problem when the clients have the same IP address ?

We are running the standard kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.

Firewall A inside interface:
