However, the VPN device at one node is not the default gateway for that LAN segment - the old device is as it is bound to a public IP address that the customer's customers access by IP address and not name.  Added static routes to LAN devices to route traffic to the other two nodes via the VPN device.  This has been working since September. This doesn't mean we can't reconfigure if we have to.

Have installed new devices at office and data center and created second VPN tunnel between these two nodes.  Unable to get traffic to reliably use second VPN.  I can get the traffic to go down the CenturyLink VPN, but only by configuring the CenturyLink devices with the same IP addresses as the Cox devices.  This is OK for an emergency, but not the desired end result.

I'm willing to pay, so this will get you some fine craft beer, not that free beer.  I anticipate a preliminary meeting to discuss requirements, then some on-site working sessions.
