If you mean unique address, yes. If you mean internet routable, no, but
the other side of the vpn is not internet routable either. One side is
192.168.1.0 and the other is 10.0.0.0. I'm looking at this more like a
branch office VPN. The routers on the remote side have static routes to
know where to find my network. 

Hope that made sense.
