   What devices support 2 VPN connections a

   What routers will support 2 VPN connections at once?  I have checked   
   web sites for vendors like Dlink, Linksys, etc. and they don't seem to   
   have anything I can find on this.  On the other hand, some posts here   
   and that I've found via google seem to indicate that Dlink products   
   may have this capability but it isn't advertised?  Is it so common   
   these days that they don't bother mentioning it in their specs?   
      
   My setup is this:  I am connecting to a Nortel Contivity VPN server   
   (don't know what version it is but I'm sure it is kept reasonably up   
   to date)  I have had one session at a time working just fine through   
   my Cisco 675 modem, I just had to configure NAT forwarding for port 500   
   UDP and IP protocol 50.  But I can't run more than one VPN session at a   
   time, because the NAT internal to 675 will set up a forwarding for the   
   first host's IP so the second host will timeout attempting to connect.   
      
   So my thought is that if I can find a router that will support multi   
   session VPN I can use it to replace my 4 port switch and it will handle   
   the multi session but look like one IP to the 675 and avoid that   
   problem.  So I just need to find out what devices support this.  Anyone   
   know of a web site where this info is maintained, or have some suggestions   
   on routers that will/should work with a Nortel VPN?   
      
   Thanks!

   When hiring, avoid unlucky people, they are a risk to the firm.  Do this by   
   randomly tossing out 90% of the resumes you receive without looking at them.
