Hi,
I have two FC1 boxes acting as "servers" (A and B) on different locations and three "workstations" behind both of those machines. I'm planning to connect the servers with VPN (using freeswan module from Dag). Then I would be able to use NFS securely between my networks.
Server A has the essential project directory /proj which is listed in its /etc/exports and of course the machines behind it can mount it via NFS. And so could probably server B when connected with VPN. But how to provide the /proj directory to the machines behind server B? AFAIK "recursive" NFS mounts or "exporting NFS mount" is not a sane solution?
I would (and have) use openvpn to create the secure link between servers A and B. With proper routing the machines behind server B can just NFS mount /proj directly off of server A.
A rude ASCII illustration of my setup, I believe this is very common:
/proj /---]---]--- B --- Internet --- A ---]---]---\ 1 2 3 1 2 3
With kindest regards,
Erik.
