I'd like to see if somebody here can help me with an in-principle answer on which direction take.
We have an office LAN (192.168.100.0/24) connected to a production data centre (10.100.0.0/16) via a VPN. The office firewall is an ASA 5505. In addition, we have people connecting to the office firewall from home via IPSec client access.

Our problem is that when connecting from home, it's not possible to connect to the production network at all, i.e. can't ping from 192.168.1.2 (my home PC) to 10.100.34.3
I understand that there may be some restrictions here because both the home endpoint and the production endpoint go into the "outer" interfaces.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to even set up this topology using a Cisco ASA 5505? If so, what do you do to make traffic flow from one VPN connection to another?
- If not possible, how do you make it possible? Put a L3 switch behind the ASA and put routing logic in place there?
This is bugging us a lot because we keep having to go through jump hosts and SSH forwarding in the office when working outside, which is really time consuming and doesn't work for everything.
