I'm using something similar but more sophisticated. On my machines I have |
| 10 |
two hosts files, one for vpn, one for lan. Everytime I activate vpn on my |
| 11 |
machine, a symlink to the "vpn" hosts is created. Upon deactivation of my vpn |
| 12 |
the symlink points to the "normal" hosts. It looks like this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 3 23:24 /etc/hosts -> /etc/hosts.normal |
| 15 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1354 Feb 19 04:49 /etc/hosts.normal |
| 16 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1420 Feb 3 16:09 /etc/hosts.vpn |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I use OpenVPN for my vpn, which calls the scripts up.sh and down.sh during |
| 19 |
de/activation. I simply put a appropriate "ln" command at the end of these scripts. |

Sure not the best solution, but if you only have a few machines it is good |
| 22 |
and simple enough. |
