Are these users running VoIP and others through a VPN tunnel and the problem is using NAT on an IPSec tunnel or are they using VoIP AND an IPSec VPN tunnel and each presents a problem. If it is just using NAT and an IPSec VPN, investigate using NAT Traversal. Otherwise, if you cannot find an application proxy or an iptables helper for every application they want to use, you may be stuck with DNAT and SNAT for those users - John On Fri, 2004-01-02 at 12:40, Amit Pasari wrote: > Dear Antony, > > 1.
