Site-to-site and NAT
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Reader Rating 
Q:
Our Bordermanager 3.8 Server is standing behind a Static-NAT-Router. We tried to establish a VPN connection to a BorderManager 3.7 machine (site-to-site) but got this message: Failed to send information to VPN-Member. (CS-Audit) ...
In a test-environment we can establish the vpn-tunnel, but only without using NAT. The Master BorderManager 3.8 is on NetWare 6.5 SB, and the slave BorderManager 3.7 is on Netware 6. Whats going wrong? Please help!
A:
NBM 3.7 does not work for site-to-site when one node is behind NAT. Server-behind-NAT support requires the new IKE-based VPN service, so it requires NBM 3.8 on both ends.
