On this same topic, is there any reason to use a VPN as opposed to just restricting access to a single IP? I think we plan to access our SQL server remotely by allowing external traffic only to our webserver's IP address. We're just getting this set up and I don't want to second guess our IT guy but... is it a bad idea to do it this way?

I do it all the time and it works great. Just have to remember to connect to the VPN before you start otherwise you have to wait for the connection to timeout and try again. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Sherwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 11:35 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Connecting to SQL from CF across the 'Net? All of my CF development has used data sources that have been on the same local network as the CF Server. In an upcoming project, I'll be connecting to a SQL server from CF by it's IP address via VPN over the Internet. I'm curious to hear from others who have done this if there have been any issues with dropped connections, poor performance or other difficulties from within CF. Any "heads up" tips would be a huge help.
