   Hello,   
       I am interested in making a vpn client machine act as a gateway for   
   users at home. My idea is to have a second connection to the internet (from   
   a cable provider) besides our router.  Right now our router does not look at   
   IKE and therefore only one of us can VPN at any given time to our remote   
   network.  Using a machine as a vpn gateway I would like all traffic to the   
   vpn network to go through this box.  I am not sure if it would be only for   
   that or if I want it to be able to get to the internet at the same time or   
   not yet.   
      
   Basically my question is: can packets from inside a lan be routed by a   
   machine that is on the lan and transmit the packets over the vpn as it's own   
   packets?  OR are there issues with authentication and the origin of the   
   packets?  I am thinking of using debian with ipchains.   
      
   any advice would be awesome!
