We have a romote office that connects to our main office via a Site to Site VPN (PIX (Remote) - Symantec Firewall (Local site))
Our Remote site wants to VPN into their PIX but the be able to access other servers across the site to site tunnel.

Have tried it and can, as expected, access the servers at the remote office, but cannot access the servers over the tunnel. Should this be possible of are we trying to achieve the impossible?
 
Nope it is not possible with the PIX. The remote site needs to end both tunnels at a router or VPN concentrator. The PIX is not able to route packets back on the same interface they arrived hence the need for a router or VPN concentrator.
 
That confirmed my thoughts, thanks
