1875.0. "NT domain trust using tunnel" by SNOFS1::stylia.sno.dec.com::snov14::stylianoua () Mon Mar 17 1997 21:54

Let me run this by you.

A customer in Sydney(Nt domain1) has software developers in Israel(Nt domain2). 
The devs want to be able to access the customer's Sydney network. 

Currently
1. they has a frame relay line from Sydney to Israel. 
2. The firewall is opened to allow the Israel team to access domain2 via
 ftp only.

Want: 
1. keep frame relay line. 
2.Probably replace the old firewall with ours.
3. Let the Israel team access the Sydney network. Want to open a secure hole - 
or as secure as can be.  . So they need to set up trust relationships using
NT domain1 and NT domain2.

Question
Would the firewall and tunnel servers on each net allow the NT servers to 
create a trust relationship? I think so - but what about Netbios naming etc. 
Any ideas?

All we need to know at the moment is if this is possible. I will need to 
prove it later.

Regards
Andrew Stylianou

The answer is a lot simpler that the application.  I would suggest that you NOT load the Tunnel on the Firewall
box.  It can be done but the routing nightmare that is created is extensive.  You will need to install a Group
Tunnel to Group Tunnel on both protected nets.  When they are running then you be passing any or all IP packets
through the Tunnel link creating a virtual network.
