Pix to Pix VPN with Client to PIX PPTP

[NetworkGuy101]

I have a Pix to Pix VPN Setup with client VPN PPTP to pix also. It works great unless the client wishes to connect though the PPTP VPN and then through the Pix to Pix VPN. I Guess the Pix has problems routing through the same interface. Anybody have a similar situation? I had thought of just having the user connect 2 VPN Tunnels. 1 to the first pix and the second to the 2 Pix to be able to reach resources on bot networks but I believe that will be to much "Pressure" on the user. Any Ideas?

The only way I know of that you could pull that off would be to VPN into the first network, connect to a desktop through a remote administration tool, then fire up a vpn client on that machine which would vpn you to the next network...

So it would still involve using a second client instance..

why not set up client vpn access to the 2nd pix

Well that is done but then the clients would have to have 2 VPN connections. I have very particular clients. They want one connect and have access to all sites and they want it on the pix. You would think that this would be considered a bug or something. I dont think it is a uncommon situation.

I agree with NetworkGuy101. We have an IPSEC VPN (pix-to-pix) between our main office and our colo facility where our web-cluster is hosted (we have a lot of programmers that routinely do work out there) and we also have a remote access VPN. Right now home users login to the remote access VPN, then use RDP to get on a machine here to go out to the colo facility. I would love to elminiate the need to do this.

Does anyone know if Cisco plans to remove this limitation in a future version of the OS?
