Thanks for your post, Volker.

Please note I inherited this network - it was not my design.

Both VPNs use our internal network as the endpoint. Each firewall was
chosen as an effort to guarantee stability of the tunnel, as the PIX is
connected to another PIX, the Firebox to another Firebox.

I need our internal network to remain the endpoint for both tunnels;
servers here are used by both China and Mexico.

Can I have two firewalls be "equals" behind our Internet access router?
