+1 for that - and getting Linux-support back ;)

If you have a working setup, I think you could use something like 
Openvpn to tunnel all traffic through a given port - would be some kind 
of a kludge, but could work:

** client-gateway:
- default route through openvpn-interface (tun0)
- additional route for remote gateway through the internet-interface
- openvpn connects to localhost:1194
- wanproxy listens on localhost:1194 and forwards all traffic to the 
remote gateway to port 1195

** remote gateway:
- wanproxy listens on port 1195 and forwards to localhost:1194
- openvpn listens on port 1194 and connects to the internet

did I understand wanproxy's usage correctly here?
