I have a xAP router for Linux, available for download from my site (
patrick.lidstone.net/ha). It worked fine for me for a couple of years,
although it's a bit of a rough-and-ready hack.

Thanks Kevin,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the dmz side is all Linux, so I guess I&#39;d have to
whip<br>
something up.<br>
<br>
Thinking about it some more this morning though, the networks are
separated<br>
by a server running ISA (dual nics). &nbsp;So would I be able to run
both the<br>
xServer and xServer client on the same machine but bound to separate
NIC&#39;s?<br>
<br>
Here&#39;s some ASCII representing the pertinent parts of my network -
not sure<br>
how well it will come out:<br>
<br>
INTERNET<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
SWITCH-----------LINUX BOXES<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;(nic 0 - 172.18.9.x)<br>
SERVER RUNNING ISA<br>
&nbsp;(nic 1 - 192.168.1.x)<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
SWITCH-----------WINDOWS BOXES<br>
<br>
<br>
Actually, I guess all I really need to do is figure out a way of
forwarding<br>
all broadcast traffic between the inner and outer networks using
ISA?<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; If I understand correctly you could just install the xServer in
the DMZ<br>
&gt; network and then route traffic to the non DMZ using an xServer
client.<br>
&gt; However both the client and server are Windows based applications
(VB).<br>
&gt; - which way around are your networks ... and is a Windows app on
both<br>
&gt; sides supportable &nbsp;? You may be able to write a client
for Linux fairly<br>
&gt; easily - a server would be more slightly more involved.
&nbsp;The client is<br>
&gt; essentially just a tunnel via TCP for the xAP UDP traffic with
an<br>
&gt; initial key based authentication exchange - the detail of which I
think<br>
&gt; could be disclosed for a Linux client implementation. &nbsp;It
is likely this<br>
&gt; will be updated to a challenge/response type system in the next
release<br>

&gt;&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I need to bridge / route xAP traffic between 2 networks
(an internal and<br>
&gt;&gt; dmz), one Windows based and one Linux based.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Has anybody achieved anything like this before?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Specifically, my PBX setup (Asterisk box, fxs &amp;
fxo gateways) sits in<br>
&gt;&gt; a dmz<br>
&gt;&gt; on my network on it&#39;s own switch, and I&#39;ve
just started playing with<br>
&gt;&gt; the xAP<br>
&gt;&gt; Asterisk connector which I&#39;m sure will give me
lots of functionality if I<br>
&gt;&gt; can get the xAP data across into the internal
network!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
