Excellent news.

And Brian, Gert ... I believe it's called 'sarcasm' ... ;)

You mean forwarding a packet back out the same interface it was received on?

No I don't. I mean, terminating tunnelA to the PIX, and then terminating tunnelB to the PIX, and then allowing A and B to talk. This is what VPN Concentrators can do, that PIX's can't (well, one thing anyways). Its very useful in some situations.

Nope, ok, you have to buy a ROUTER for that. It ROUTES packets, see. (Never mind the dynamic or static route options that the PIX provides, it's just a firewall, for christ's sake!) So, go ahead and buy a Cisco(R) ROUTER to put in front of your PIX.

Seriously, you don't have to break it down :) "Hairpinning" when talking about VPN's has a different meaning. Although even "hairpinning" of VPN's does require routing.

Perhaps you could ask the engineers to spend the hundreds or thousands of hours it would require to implement this extensive feature on to the existing software. It might be a complicated endeavor, rivaled by the engineering of the rock-solid 2800 series, or perhaps even the Space Shuttle, but I bet they can get it done.

Turns out Hairpinning IS supported in 7.0 (Hairpinning of VPN tunnels), just like I had a hunch it would.

While I'm at it, I'm going to send you a bill for the time I took to write this, and I have a fourty hour minimum. No, four hundred hours...Yeah, that's the ticket... Four hundred hour minimum...

Does anyone know if Cisco will support the 520 with PIX OS 7.0?

Anyone know if 7.0 is going to support hairpinning of VPN tunnels?
