Disclaimer: I should clarify though that I have not personally implemented DA.  
I am looking into it to consider implementing it and I have only been reading 
about it so far.  So please feel free to correct any of my information if it is 
inaccurate.

While DA does offer an option to force all traffic through the tunnel 
(source<http://blogs.technet.com/b/tomshinder/archive/2010/03/30/more-on-directaccess-split-tunneling-and-force-tunneling.aspx>),
 it appears that we should be able to add this IP sensitive service's DNS name 
to the NPRT<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff394369.aspx> so that 
the traffic flows through corpnet.

And related, here is another site that also has some more information that may 
also offer some help:

This is if you force Internet access through the DA link, yes?

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).
