computername IN A IPAddress:port
No, no.. the domain name system does not understand ports in that way.. Thanks Cristian, yes I understand this will not work, it was just the concept that I was after....
You need to setup an openVPN server in your network, see http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html I am in the process of grokking VPN (openVPN) and believe it may be the right answer. But it is a complicated solution and not one that I will be able to easily explain to others on how to set up. I think I have it set up and working for my own laptop, but it is not easy to test unless I am outside of my own internal network, so progress is slow....
I took a brief look at shorewall, but so far have avoided using it as I would like to stay within the supported utilities provided by openSuSE. Perhaps you can explain what is the difference between using shorewall and SuSEFirewall2? I have long been using SuSEFirewall2 to configure my firewall, (which I believe in turn configures iptables underneath the covers) and yes it does have it's warts and bugs but as least I know what to avoid, for the most part (such as using YaST2->Security and Users->Firewall to configure it!).... Not sure I want to learn another tool unless there is a real advantage to doing so... Is there insofar as openVNP is concerned? Marc...
