I haven't tested this, but I think that using DirectAccess and adding the 
service's DNS name to your Name Resolution Policy Table 
(NRPT)<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff394369.aspx> may do the 
trick.  Since DirectAccess is automatic and transparent, this may provide you 
with a seamless "one-click" solution for your clients.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Problem - access based on your IP

We have signed up to a service that gives access not via user accounts, but by 
"allowed inbound IP's". Easy enough for on-premise staff, but we have 100+ 
remote users, and for them we've been told to set up a proxy server to achieve 
this. I've been told by my boss that the ideal solution for our remote staff 
would be for them to just click a bookmark in their browser so it is just 
another site. Is there any other way to achieve this other than by proxy?

Non one-click methods would be for our remote users to VPN to NWEA first, then 
hit their site, or to connect via RDS Gateway.

Is there an slick little client-side piece that we might be able to stick on 
our remote users' machines or anything? I'm drawing a blank on how to achieve 
my boss' request other than a proxy (which I have no experience with but have 
asked my network team their opinion on it).
