LAN over WAN communication OpenVPN
« on: January 28, 2012, 05:29:05 pm »
Hello,

I have a small server cluster in a datacenter that needs to be connected to the same LAN in another datacenter. So both locations have a 10.10.1.X /24 network, without knowing that some servers might be over WAN.

How can I set this? I tried several things with Zentyal, but I think it's imposible with the default settings. I tried to create my own Ehternet tunnel with plain OpenVPN tunneling, but I was unable to ping IP addresses on the other side.

The reason I want this, is because I need to migrate about 50 hosted desktops connected to a fileserver with minimal downtime. So I would like to stop, copy, start each hosted desktop for minimal downtime. After that, I will migrate the massive fileserver in the weekend.

Please let me know if LAN over WAN is possible with Zentyal! And if it doesn't, what are my options?
