I am working on a lab design to add some flexibility and test other connection methods to the 44.0.0.0/8 network.  I currently have a Linux gateway running rip44d for my main connectivity to the other 44/8 subnets.  I have setup a Cisco based DMVPN where I can route other subnets to and route back to the Linux gateway for access to other subnets.  This configuration also allows access from the public Internet to the allocated subnets via a Linux gateway.

I have a diagram with a working layout and is in testing now.  I am looking to see if anyone might be interested in connecting up to my cloud and see what and if any problems we may encounter.  I use a very similar setup with my customers and there are some distinct advantages:

- The end user would only need an internet connection and a Cisco DMVPN capable router. I have used 800, 1800, 2800, 3700 series Cisco routers.

- The DMVPN works when you plug the Cisco router into a direct Internet or NAT connection.  You can plug it in at home behind your Netgear home router, use DHCP and a private address on the router “public” interface.

- Many subnets can be routed through a single Linux gateway and distributed easily.

- No issues with dynamic IP address from your provider.

If you are interested or have any comments or suggestions, take a look at the network diagram I made at http://www.hindmarsh.cc/images/wc3xs-ampr44.png
