Cisco VPN Client through PIX and routed network

We currently have several networks interconnected using broadband and PIX 501's/506's, using site to site VPN's. We're looking at upgrading our service to an Ethernet over fiber scenario that would look like this:

Site A (Main location) Local LAN: 192.168.1.0, Internet Connection Here Site B (Remote Site) Local LAN: 192.168.2.0 Site C (Remote Site) Local LAN: 192.168.3.0 Site D (Remote Site) Local LAN: 192.168.4.0

The ethernet service will provide a fully meshed topology, allowing any site to reach any other site.

Right now we use the Cisco VPN client for a few remote users. They connect into a PIX 506E located at Site A. Obvisouly, they can only access hosts located on the 192.168.1.0 network. How can I enable the clients to reach hosts at Sites B,C and D once we have put the new service in place?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Glenn

You need a router on the inside interface of the PIX506 headend, inorder to "turn" the packets in and the via router, out again on the PIX headend.

Ok this makes sense I think. So if I were to plug the 506E inside interface into a Catalyst 3548 with Layer 3 capability, that had routes for the 3 other networks, all would work fine?

Thanks.
