Here is my situation. I have a main office with a pix 515e. And remote offices with linksys routers. I have VPN tunnels setup to connect to the main office. They can all ping the internal lan in the main office, but not each other.

I tried setting up static routes on the remote routers that point at the main office pix as the next hop but this didn't work. Can this even be done?
 
So you can't just setup normal static routers? Having the main vpn pix internal ip as the next hop?

Another way around this would be to just setup a vpn mesh right? Have the 2 remote routers vpn'd into each other as well?
 
Yep, That would work.

How could I have the remote pcs access a DMZ?
Lets say the remotes vpn into a 515e with a dmz.
The DMZ is on a different subnet so the remote locations don't know where to go to get there.
 
That can be a problem with the Linksys devices if I remember right. You would have to define a second encryption domain and if I recall correctly you can only define one network as the remote. What model of linksys do you have at the remote end?
