What are your thoughts regarding all of this operating behind a consumer > (domestic) ADSL line? Should we be considering colocating a server? > Typically, Directory Services is visible only within the enterprise's network (LAN + VPN) - this has been the case in my experience. As long as all machines binding to the LDAP server are on the *intranet* (behind the firewall) it should not matter. I do not understand why you are bringing up colocation (presumably in the cloud) as an option. IMO it is not necessary. It would be helpful if you can elaborate on your network setup. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
