[Openswan Users] Bridging lan over wireless link

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

Hi all,

I want to create a bridge (see picture below) between 2 LANs with the same IP range (192.168.0.0/24) using 2 wireless links that use load sharing over multiple interfaces (as descibed here: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.loadshare.html) for load balancing and fault tolerance. Both links should use IPsec for encryption.

I have googled for an example that does this but I could not find it.

Is this possible? Not in threory but in practise: has anyone done this? If so, can anyone give me an example/pointer to an example of how to do this?
