This is the route I would take. I'd even make it a private network so only the servers you need to talk across sites would have access. A cross site VLAN perhaps. For a few thousand dollars worth of wireless gear you'll save a ton of space on your internet connection and point to point wireless is a lot more reliable than broadcast (like 802.11). I'd highly recommend getting gear designed to bridge sites and not just use even an enterprise grade wireless AP, you'll get much better results. I actually had a similar problem about 10 years ago when a bottling plant wanted people to log in with their same password in the plant itself and the offices. They were not physically attached so I setup a point to point wireless network for the directory servers to sync across. One server in the plant and 2 in the offices and it worked great. > Joseph > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the > growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
