Multiple VPN connecions

Subject: Multiple VPN connecions

Greetings list,

I'm just dealing with a silly problem but that seems to me with no solution. Here is the scenario:


[ServerFarm(Cisco VPN3000)]<->Internet<->Router<->[pc.(Vpn Client sw)]


The company I work for, gives access to it's services only to remote pc.s via Cisco VPN client sw.


Everything works fine only if the remote router is a Cisco device (let's say 827, 837, 1720 or greater models) or remote pc.s are calling through a generic Internet connection (ADSL, Dialup, etc.).
In such situations where the remote router is not a Cisco device, it seems that only a single VPN connection is allowed by the router itself and every new VPN connection causes the existing one to be dropped. I guess that the router drops the active VPN connection for a kind of security reason, related to the discovery of a routing modification due to the request of a new VPN connection, but I can't figure out how to work around the problem.


Having a single remote pc. working a time is not a good solution, neither is the whole substitution of remote routers with Cisco ones' :-) !

Does anybody have any suggestion?

Thank you all
- Fernando
