(ASCEND) can Max be PPTP server?
Here's the scenario.... we have a class B (128.205.0.0/16) worth of
address space, and there are some services that are only available
to users with source IP addresses within that class B. We have
Ascend units (4048, TNT) to support dialin access directly to our
network, however many people use other services such as aol, cable
modems, etc, which give them an address that is NOT within our
class B. We need a way to make these people look like they
are coming from within our class B. That leads us to PPTP.... set
up a PPTP server so that these users could tunnel into that, and
then from there they would like they were coming from within our
class B. Is there any way to use our Ascend boxes
to facilitate something like this? In other words, is there any
way to be able to tunnel *to* an Ascend box via its network interface,
and then look as if you are coming from the IP address of the Ascend
box, or one that it uses?
>From everything I have read, I see no way of doing this. Everything I
have seen has to do with using the Ascend as the PPTP *client*, in
order to set up tunnels to a PPTP server to support the users dialed
into the Ascend. But, I just wanted to toss it out to this list to
see if any of you had any comments.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
