[Openswan Users] Re: released openvpn

[John A. Sullivan III]

That's probably not a good idea unless there is a driving
technology/business need.  Your bandwidth is precious. To create a
bridged network across a WAN will fill the pipe with unnecessary
traffic.  I assume you mean network neighborhood browsing in windows by
"use neighbor." If so, the better approach is to use a WINS server and a
routed WAN.  Hope this helps - John
