I think so. On box1 I type these commands: # ifconfig eth0:5 192.121.234.213 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 192.121.234.223 # ip route add 192.121.234.213 via 10.1.0.2 (10.1.0.2 is the tunnel's endpoint on box2) on box1: # ifconfig lo:0 192.121.234.213 netmask 255.255.255.255 # ip rule add from 192.121.234.213 lookup 10 # ip route add default via 10.1.0.1 table 10 and when I ssh 192.121.234.213 from box1, I come to box2. I have also noticed that 192.121.234.213 exists in the kernel routing table on box1, so I deleted it and when I then ssh 192.121.234.213 from the outside I get the error "no route to host". So the routing seems to be correct, right? And why I set up the tunneled address on lo is because a guy told me to do that. ;-) > Well.. routing in this case is not single point problem.... but both points have to route correctly to make it "happen".

But when I ping/ssh/whatever from outside the traffic goes to box1. That's why I think NATing the connections will solve the problem. But maybe I'm wrong? >> >> > IPTABLES?
