linux VPN solution

hello,

in a stanard cisco VPN solution one method is to user say a router-to-router
or router-to-concentrator vpn whereby each end negotiates IPSEC tunnels and
any traffic that is directed to hosts on the other sides of those VPN's are,
via ACL's, directed down the tunnel.

my question: is there a way of establishing the samething using linux +
iptables. for example lets say we had two sites, A and B, A having a linux
firewall, B having a cisco router/concentrator. now on B's lan there was a
host C. if hosts in site A say telneted to C is there a way of forwarding
those packets over a 3DES encrypted IPSEC tunnel? will freeswan do this or
is freeswan simply a server/client solution - does it have the ability to
establish a tunnel once it sees traffic destined for a destination and then
have traffic forwarded through that tunnel (as with the usual cisco
router-to-router solution)

cheers
moth

FreeSWan just does this!
You can establish a VPN IPSEC tunnel between two sites, each one provided
with a linux gateway running FreeSWan software.

I believe that you can do this using a Cisco router at one side, but I never
tried this.

Bye
