Openswan with dynamic ip address on server side

Hi

I've been struggling to get an Openswan VPN working between a RHEL 6.5 server and a Windows 7 client. I think the main issue is that the RHEL server is sitting behind a broadband router and does not have an internet facing IP address. Before I start posting configuration files / log output I just want confirmation that the following is actually supported by openswan and xl2tpd or am I going to fall at the first hurdle?

The configuration I have is:

Code:

+------------------------+
|
|    Client PC (Win 7)
|
+------------------------+
      192.168.1.x
           |
           |
      192.168.1.1
+------------------------+
|      BB Router       
+------------------------+
        82.x.y.z (dynamic)
           |
      { INTERNET }
           |
        84.a.b.c (dynamic)
+------------------------+
|      BB Router  
+------------------------+
        10.0.0.1
           |
           |
        10.0.0.3 (eth1)
+------------------------+
|
| OPENSWAN SERVER (RHEL)
|
+------------------------+
            |
      192.168.0.1 (eth0)

If the above is supported/possible then what should be the "left" and "right" IPs set to on server?

Thanks
