work. The remote firewalls FW2 and FW3 would have no idea of which VPN
tunnel to use (FW1A or FW1B) since they both share the same subnet (
10.100.1.0/24). Obviously I can split the site into subnets (10.100.1.0/25and
10.100.1.128/25) or something like that, but at that point I'd rather deal
with static routes on the client PCs. Am I missing something here, or is
there some way to make the above work?
