[VPN] Re: fw1 site to site vpn subnet conflict

We have a similar configuration involving a datacenter that wanted us to
interface with servers in a 10.x network. I don't see why you can't use
the nat'ing solution in both directions. They set the nat'ing rule up on
their end and we connect to them just fine. They had to add an IP
address from a different 10.y subnet to a few of their servers and nat
the 10.y so that the nat rule would not apply to other integrations
where the 10.x was already in production. In short: why is you nat rule
"directional"?

I take it that it would be too much to change either your private
network subnet or the subnet on the other end which conflicts with
yours?  I think that's going to be the only thing you can do in this
case.  If the individual devices on the remote end don't need access to
the rest of their network, you can try changing their default gateway to
the IP address of the VPN endpoint on the remote side and that should
allow their traffic to pass through the VPN correctly, but they won't be
able to access the other network subnets on their own side.

Maybe someone else have other ideas but I think you'll have to change
one side or the other in order to make this work properly.
