[Openvpn-users] Can I Use Open VPN for This ?

Hi Friends,

I have just came to know about OPEN VPN
and curious about can I use OPEN VPN to achieve this.

Our Organization has setup LANs at 4/5 Different Locations
with Suse 8.2 Based Servers and 10 to 15 W9x Nodes at each place.

Each server is a PDC + Database server and Contains some
Stock (Inventory) Data. Nodes run In-House Developed
Inventory Application using Delphi & Firebird as database.

Now due to some fiscal constraints, Management need to know
in case of shortage whether same item is in stock at some other
locations but not ready to invest in leased lines since information
sharing is required occasionally so only way left is Dial-up connections.

suppose  Locations and IP addresses are as follows.

Location A 192.168.10.* server is 192.168.10.1
Location B 192.168.20.* server is 192.168.20.1
Location C 192.168.30.* server is 192.168.30.1
Location D 192.168.40.* server is 192.168.40.1
.....

Suppose I am At Location A.

If the application tries to access some IP like 192.168.30.1 

say he fires....  "ping 192.168.30.1 -t " at his Node 192.168.10.14

then is it possible that the Linux Server at Location A will Automatically
Dial to Location C and establish PPP connection ?

Each server is Connected to Different Phone Number and
has different login names and passwords for such incomming call.
Simillarly I have tested each server for remote dial-in connection
using mgetty and pppd I am able to connect if i use appropriate
Phone number and L/P. The only thing i have to do is
whenever such connection is required i have to fire-up
appropriate connection manually at the server to connect to
other server and then continue with application

usually i am doing this with telnet to local server and fireup the
script then continue with application.


If yes any HOW-TO to achieve this ?  In short Dial on Demand to
different locations depending on IP requested.

Best Regards

R. S. Patil
