Below is setup:

OS:redhat 4.0 AS
eth0=VPN= 192.168.255.6
eth1=Lan=192.168.0.1
ppp0=Internet

what I want is to access internet & VPN from my client side simultaneously (with a single gateway) ,is it possible thru natting ?
can we use natting between eth0 and ppp0 +eth0, whr two are external network & one is internal. currently I m using natting between eth1+ppp0.

pls guide

not normally a nat thing really. how do you expect natting to help? generally you have given private subnets that only exist via the vpn, so you'd just route those specific networks via the interface associated with the VPN. they then have the source ip address of the VPN client ip. internet connections still follow a default gateway and off they go.
