Justin, 

        For both VPN pipes - we use the domain names at my company. 

There is a slight bit more configuration but you will never have to
reconfigure anything (in a perfect world) unlike if you use IP addresses
and you start having problems with your ISP and decided to switch.

Example --- right now we have 3 ISPs coming in. Our main service is
provided by Genuity --- but with all the money they are hemorrhaging
lately you never know if they are going to shut their doors. By "law"
they have to give you 30 days notice that they are shutting down. If in
fact they do --- reconfiguring both VPN pipes is one less thing we have
to worry about as we use the domain name rather than the IPs.

Too wordy??????

Do you know what the advantages and disadvantages are for using domain
names
or ip addresses?

It depends on your preference - you can do either.

I have a general question for everyone.  Do VPN's require the use of a
domain name or do they strictly rely on just IP Addresses?
