Really all I want is this box in public address space to be the gateway and natd for a network in 172.16.0.x space behind it. > > > If it is in the 172 space, how is this box being > > informed it shoul be listening for it, since the only the tun0 is told it > > is attached to this IP, not the actual NIC... > Your NIC on your private network should definately be getting an > address from ifconfig. > I have the NIC listening to both IP's at least in theory, 172.16.0.1 and my public space IP... I assume that it must be listening there as well... perhaps incorrectly. I tried tying tun0 from 172.16.0.1 to the public IP... but still have had no luck at all with this. You are correct, I am a bit befuddled, the chapters on this topic in the handbook are a bit less than excellent.
