Connecting A server to VPN on Different Subnet than Local LAN
I will try to explain as simply as possible. I have a network at 192.168.1.1 (Network 1)- I am making a VPN connection using sonic wall global vpn client to another network at 192.168.15.1 (Network 2) (Full class c subnet on both networks). I have a system on Network 1 that has an IP address of 192.168.15.15 and when connected to the VPN, I want to be able to communiace with this system from a 192.168.1.1 address. In other words, I would need to route all traffic that is destined for 15.15 back to my local 1.1 network so it can talk - does this make sense? is it possible?
The reason I am doing this is to be able to configure servers remotely from my office that are ultimitely bound for another network - So I want them to have the IP address of the network I will eventually move them to, but be able to have them setup on that networks IP scheme while in my office

Does the new server need access to the remote network to be set up? If not......
Many ISP's allow multiple public dynamic IP's so we often set up a second router on a different subnet, such as (of course if you have multiple static IP's with your ISP that will work as well):
192.168.1.x=>router1 |
|=>switch=>modem
192.168.15.x=router2 |
You can then remotely access the other server via VPN, RDP, or static routes. But you still cannot set up a VPN between the local and remote 192.168.15.x sites because they have to be different for routing to take pace.
