   OpenVPN UDP and NAT

   Hi   
      
   We have a network in a client site. One of the servers in that remote   
   network initiates a PPTP based dial in demand VPN back to us using   
   WIn2kRRAS.   
      
   The remote end needs to initiate because the client NAT's our VPN to their   
   public IP as it travels thru the gateway.   
      
   Our local end of the VPN is a public address, no NAT.   
      
   Now I want to replace this with openvpn but I am wondering if it will work   
   using UDP.   
      
   The remote end will get NAT'd as it sends packlets to our local public   
   openvpn server. But since its over UDP it seems I have to maintain a   
   connection going back the other way. But no port forwarding happens for   
   traffic going back in as its not our firewall at the remote end.   
      
   Can this scenario work?   
      
   thanks
