     - We could establish a tunnel between our sites which could make it possible to access our own servers by connecting to the other's LAN using special addresses. The 'other' LAN could then route the connection back through the tunnel to the desired destination. Of course this scheme would break down if both sites lost their fiber connection simultaneously.     - We could establish a tunnel between our sites which could make it possible to access our own servers by connecting to the other's LAN using special addresses.
