VPN & DHCP

NugentS
Does anyone know whether its possible to use an Astaro box as an IPSEC termination point whilst having a DHCP supplied external IP address?

Just asking because a customer firewall I came across would accept a DHCP supplied address but would not in that scenario act as a PPTP server

    You'd have to use a DynDNS+script arrangement (see jader's post in Hackers forum) or Astaro would have to messenger the info back and forth transparently. Who knows; maybe they're working on that now...

    OK - I didn't explain properly. The IP would remain the same always but would have to be supplied by DHCP.

    The particular scenario I am thinking of is using an ADSL router (SAR7x5) in ZipB mode to supply the Astaro box with the external IP address. The SAR has to forward the IP addres via DHCP and there must be a client as otherwise the SAR shuts down the WAN link......

    Well if it remains the same and you know what it will be, you can do it without resorting to DynDNS...
