[strongSwan] bridging across two sites?

[Andreas Steffen]

Hi Daniel,

have a look at the farp

  http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/FARPPlugin

and dhcp

  http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/DHCPPlugin

plugins which allow remote hosts to become a full member of a local LAN.

This might help in your migration plans.

Regards

Andreas
