My problem is that I cannot practically renumber LAN1 & LAN2 to have different addresses. Is there any way to cope with this? The only thing I could think of was SNATing each of LAN1 & LAN2 onto 2 addresses in another private address subnet by routing their traffic through the lookback interface, but I'm not sure how to route the returning traffic as it comes out of the loopback (presumably I'd have to do it by both source and destination address).
