hi!

My plan is that the initial version of the forking daemon will follow the
current OpenVPN model of one process, port, and tun/tap dev for each tunnel,

why one (server) port for each tunnel?
each time i have to configure ftp, h323, or similar <bleeep> thru a firewall i become depressive. why repeat mankind's sins over and over...


but ease the configuration by automating the instantiation of tunnel processes
on a demand basis.

if you really want to ease things: let there at least be the possibility for the server to receive all connections for all tunnels on the same port...


Eventually, if we need to implement tun/tap sharing between tunnels, we will
need a userspace routing/firewalling library.

hm, did you understand my idea of simply using an arp library instead?

regards,

	Chris
