I would not let any student touch PHP with a ten-foot pole, but your statement is false, no webserver need, you can run PHP from command line.

As someone noted above, the military force in this particular situation was private and not governmental, however it was essentially the private armies of the British East and West India Companies that were responsible for most of the horrors of colonization by the British (I've never been too clear on the situation with the Spanish insofar as to whether or not they were regular military or not).
From living at an Iberic ex-colony in South America, I can assure you that regular military is as greedy and corrupt as any private one.

Lets suppose you have networks A and B. Given N cheap broadband connections on each side, lets call them A1, A2
At host A, for each A(N), B(N) pair, you set:
* a route for B(N)_IP via A(N)_Gateway
* a VPN link with source address A(N)_IP and destination B(N)_IP
* a static route for private networks behind B via each A(N)->B(N) virtual interface
Repeat for host B and each B(N), A(N) pair.
Problem: if each link has very distinct latencies, you will end up with package streams arriving at the other side heavily out of order. Tune your TCP stack accordingly.
