when I ping the internal interface of the vpn gateway 172.16.8.1 i get
response from default gateway "host unrechable". there is no route to that
network on any of the hosts. why the packets destined to that
172.16.8.0network are sent to default gateway? they should be sent to
the tunnel (in
this case vpn gateway adderess which is 10.1.1.100) is this correct? you
were right the IP forwarding on the gateway was disabled, but i need that to
reach any hosts on that network but i should be able to reach the internal
interface even when the IP forwarding is disabled, at least i could from the
default gateway.
