We currently use SecuRemote in a limited way, because of the SR problem reported on this list where duplicate remote private IP address aren't handled. (Boo, hiss!)

Since our Solaris servers use TCP wrappers to restrict access, we use IP Pool assignment on our NGX VPN-1 firewall to assign addresses from a range of IPs on our internal subnet. I.e., suppose our LAN uses 192.168.1.0/24 as the internal subnet, we allocate 10 IP numbers, say 192.168.1.120 thru 192.168.1.129 for the IP pool, same subnetting as the rest of the LAN = 255.255.255.0. Works fine for SR. Note that with NGX, CP decided not to do auto-ARP again, so you have to do that manually.

Please bear with me, here's the question: Can Office Mode IP address allocation work exactly the same way, using IP Pool style assignment, no DHCP server? If so, how? This would let us finally get some real use out of our VPN license since we have no use for site-to-site VPN.

Thanks.
