I've also had very good experience creating a VPN between two private
networks using SKIP + a custom tunneling tool.  It's been up and running
smoothly (including reboots of both end machines of the tunnel) for a few
weeks, and one of the hosts has moved IPs three times :).  I have been
very happy with both its performance and stability.  I admit that it was
work to get the configuration right, but it's been running smoothly since
then.  I would rather use an IPsec tunnel, but I don't know of any IPsec
LKMs I can load up without spoiling my fairly clean CVSup'd source base
under -stable and -current.
