We've been looking at Virtual Private LAN configurations that would support 
Rackspace, and the pickings have been very slim.  The only solution I've 
found so far is vCider, but it requires more recent versions of Linux than we 
are currently using -- they support multiple distributions, but for example 
with CentOS they only support CentOS 6+ and for the moment we're stuck on 
CentOS 5.6.  Otherwise, it looks like a really cool drop-in kind of solution.

They also support multiple cloud providers, as well as extending your local 
physical LAN through a gateway to one or more cloud providers.

Of course, it is commercial as opposed to being freely available.  We have 
yet to find anything that could potentially work for us that is also freely 
available.
