The configuration will work fine. The only issue is the remote VPN clients will connect to the VPN, but the replies to any of their LAN requests, will be sent to the default gateway, the Sonicwall, and therefore lost. To rectify this you can add a static route to the PC's/servers they connect to, or to the Sonicwall. The route will point traffic destined for the connecting client's subnet to the Linksys router's IP, rather than the default gateway. As an example on a server you would use
route -p add %20subnet%20> mask %20subnet mask%20> %20
eg:
route -p add 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254
There is a catch, you need to know the
