[clue-tech] IPSec VPN Setup?

[Ski Dawg]

Hey Jon,

We are doing Linux (our server CentOS 5.4) to other (unknown
device/setup at customer site).

After investigating and working on this for a couple of days, we have
run into other issues. It turns out that the issue is the server
itself. It is not running a full Linux kernel, but rather a vz kernel,
so we are not able to add/user kernel modules (which my research shows
ipsec needs).

We are currently investigating other potential options for using
IPSec, but it has become a lower priority at this time.

And on top of that, the hardware is hosted with a company in Virgina,
so we do not have physical access to it, and are not able to use a
hardware solution at this time (which would probably have been our
best option).
