    You were on the right track, but you can't route directly from the
firewall in LAN2 to the RRAS router in LAN1. Is the VPN actually configured
between the two firewalls? (ie are the firewalls the endpoint of the VPN
link?) If so, you can do it in two hops.

    So your original plan will work. But the target should be the VPN router
(ie the firewall in LAN 1), not the RRAS router. On the firewall in LAN2,
there should be a route to 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 using the tunnel
endpoint in LAN2 as the interface. The traffic will go through the tunnel to
the firewall in LAN1. This firewall should then have a static route to
forward the traffic to the RRAS router. eg

10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.12
