RE: IP in IP and FW1

["Safier, Adam (GEIS)" <Adam.Safier () geis ge com>]

Collin's answers are preferred with 2 being my favorite.

But, if you cannot do that you might try overloading the r2-fw1
interface with a second IP address, say a class 1918 address.  You then
set that as the internet default or proxy server or gateway for Net1
users.  They go to the firewall which decrypts and then uses it's own
routing table to forward to the allowed destination which is back out
the same physical interface to R2.  

This is a guess - haven't been there, haven't done that with
SecureRemote - but overloading works and your firewall rules can be set
by IP address of the interface.  However, some rules may conflict and
you may need to relax your policy - which could be risky.  Really should
change to Colin's option 2.
