Interesting situation here. Have a Cisco VPN client connecting to a PIX. That pix firewall has a VPN tunnel to another PIX (NAT in both PIXes, but different internal IP space). As far as i understand, when the software client connects to the PIX, it cannot then traverse another tunnel to get to the network behind Pix#2. The way the network looks is basically:

LAN=>PIX#1=>Router=>Internet<=Router<=PIX#2<=LAN#2

Both LANs can access each other, but I need the VPN client to be able to access both LANs as well. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
You are right, the traffic can not go back out the pix to the other site.

Can you make a different VPN connection to the other firewall? I'm not sure if 2 connections can live simultaneously if that is what you need.
 
I did some digging around, and it could be done if the tunnels are terminated on different interfaces of the PIX. Unfortuantely for me, I'm dealing with a 506E, which only has the outside and inside interfaces.
