Onderwerp: [m0n0wall] FQDNs and Remote gateways

Gentleones,

I gotta' little problem here and I hope someone can help me out.  
Section 6.5 of the manual doesn't even mention the Remote gateway  
field of the VPN>IPsec page, and I really, really want to use a FQDN  
here instead of IP address, but m0n0wall gripes about needing an IP  
address. And why? Because static IP addresses are getting more and  
more difficult to find and I'm really starting to rely on the  
wonderful services of the folks at DynDNS.org.

Now, I realize I can use a mobile client on one firewall and use a  
static IP address for the other end, but that doesn't work when we  
have two dynamic IP addresses that must be connected.

I'm using v1.11 of m0n0wall and, this niggle aside, am completely  
impressed with the quality, look and feel of this system. I can't  
wait until I can deploy it to replace my LinkSys BEFSX41s. But until  
I can use FQDNs at both ends of a tunnel, I'm SOL.

Any thoughts? Hacks? Tricks?

Thanks,
Bill
