SSL VPN - cannot make route back to Astaro from host

Hi All,

I have been using the SSL VPN client with good success.  I used to use the Astaro PPTP VPN, but some networks block the ports PPTP uses and SSL is open pretty much anywhere.

I have a multi-homed host on my network (Linux).  It uses a secondary broadband connection for its' internet.  So the default gateway for this host is NOT the Astaro like in most cases.

When I used PPTP I just added a route on the host which pointed anything going to the PPTP ip pool network back to the internal interface of the Astaro.  Worked great, allowed me to access the host while on VPN.

However, When I use the SSL VPN client I cannot successfully add this route as I think it should be added.

I believe it should be added as:
route add -net {SSL VPN IP network} nm 255.255.255.252 gw 192.168.3.1 metric 1

The gw 192.168.3.1 is the internal address of my astaro.
This does not work as it did for the PPTP VPN

I have tried just to add a route to the host using the current IP address of the VPN SSL client but that failed too.

Every host on the network with the default GW using the Astaro works fine.   I just cannot come up with the correct route back for the Astaro on this linux machine that does not use the Astaro as the default GW.

I have tried several other combinations, but nothing seems to work.

Any help is definitely appreciated!

Thanks!
