In the last sprint we added support to easily setup openvpn tunnels between dreamboxes.
At the moment I think Nick made simple to connect 2 dreamboxes but not create a full network.
However if you want to connect 2+ boxes together I strongly suggest you look into the
openvpn setup. Once openvpn works you will be able to access any service from any box w/o
worry of having to portforward stuff or other trickery.
Simo.
