At the end of the day that's exactly what I hope to achieve. I guess what I'm looking at is this:
All sites will have a Windows 2000/20003 box and will all be on a different subnet. Rather than incur the cost of VPN licenses on the firewalls, I'd like to use the existing capability of the servers. The central server (hub) would provide site to site VPN eliminating any overhead on the clients. Any flaws to that line of reasoning? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 8:18 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VPN Pass Through Firewalls Why not set up a VPN mesh (or hub-and-spoke) via the firewalls? Let them handle the VPN's and let the servers do the serving? :-) It'll reduce the CPU and configuration on the clients too.
