Well, we do not have static IP addresses, and the routers does not 
support VPN. Also I do not like the idea of VPN because I feel that 
would forward more packets than needed. I may be wrong. :-)
Although we do not have static IP, we have DDNS. Is it possible to do 
VPN from one FreeBSD box to another and then.... what? Mount nfs? Mount 
smb? I can mount a remote smb volume then share it with another smb 
server, but it looks wreid to me and I'm also concerned about speed. I 
believe smb is not optimized for speed. If I have to use VPN then I 
would like to use the most traffic-efficient method over VPN. Can you 
suggest something?
Thanks,
