Hi folks, Got a bit of a question with regards to routing, not sure if it's possible but I figure I'd ask anyway. We have 4 sites in our organisation which are connected via VPN to the head office using OpenVPN. Most sites have two connections, either 2 x ADSL or 1 x ADSL and 1 x FTTC. At the moment we've got routes setup so if any one site wants to talk to another site it goes over the connection to the main site and then out again to the destination site which I gather isn't ideal. So it looks a bit like this: Remote Site A ----> Head Office ----> Remote Site B. Now I've been looking at connecting each site together, so Remote Site A can connect directly to Remote Site B and Remote Site C as well as the head office. However I'd also like the ability if the direct VPN connection goes down (say one of the ADSL links goes down) that it goes via the Head Office connection instead. At the moment the OpenVPN machine is configured so remote subnets go via the main VPN connection to the head office, it then gets forwarded on over the other VPN connections. What I'd like is some sort of thing where it goes directly to the remote site, and if this route is down then go via the Head Office route, and if that's down too, just give up. I just wondered if anyone knew if this was possible and what sort of voodoo I need to do to get it to have two possible routes?
