Erich,

That is exactly what I'm trying to do. My only fear is that I don't know
if I can forward all the traffic to the l2tp service, becouse I don't
want to let anyone be inside the server or the net only with the ipsec
certificate, also the user must login with user/pass of the MS DC.

Cheers


Martín
