Brief Summary:

vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:

On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.

We need an IP Tunneling application that runs on Linux with a PHP front-end to manage the tunnels.

We need the application to forward remote IP addresses to a remote server. The remote IP addresses will then be accessible to the primary server locally.

The PHP application will need to be able to manage the remote servers IP Tunnels, meaning that a server IP, username and password will have to be entered along with the IP range. As these change, servers need to be able to be added or deleted.

Experience with IP Tunneling is a must.

What we want with the tunnel is to be able to add public IP addresses that has been assigned from one server (branch server) to a completely different server (master server) at a different location.

We need the tunneled IPs to route http, ssh, dns and smtp.

We will provide the server to work with. The project will not be considered complete until everything works properly.

The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.

What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.

All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
