    I don't know if the IP addresses you gave to the dd interfaces confuses
the system, but it certainly confuses me! The dd interfaces are part of the
local 172.16. subnet in each site. Why not give them local IP addresses?

    The failure to connect doesn't seem to be directly associated with any
of this. It looks like the server is not properly configured to accept
remote access. Have you set the remote access policy to accept remote
connections? Have you tested by making a normal client-server type VPN
connection to the server? If this fails, what error message do you get?

    I can assure that a setup like this will work over a LAN. I have done it
several times with W2k and W2k3 RRAS servers for testing. (It also works
with virtual servers running under Microsoft VPC).
