[ale] Routing Questions

[Dow Hurst]

Ahhh!  You've reached the no man's land of a VPN!  You will need to have
a PPP tunnel piped thru a SSH connection.  The PPP interfaces will be
routable but your current network addresses are non routable addresses. 
Bob Toxen can set you up quickly if you want a professional job. 
Otherwise, you will need to understand how to pipe PPP thru SSH.  The
O'Reilly book on VPN's gives examples of this.  You have to be root to
create the PPP interfaces so sudo is required as well.  IPsec will work
in a different way but your firewall/NAT routers will have to do the
IPsec using the routable addresses assigned by the ISPs just like the
PPP tunnel scenario.
