Wouldn't something like Citrix XenApp offload the performance hit onto the local network for your remote users? Granted, not your query, but it would allow VPN users to use these apps without eating remote bandwidth...

I don't know of any ISP offering bandwidth comparable to your internal network.

Is it possible to have end-users use any sort of VPN technology to access high-bandwidth apps? Say if an app that is really chatty constantly talking back to a SQL database, or an app that can at times burn 100+megs by itself. And say 50-100 end-users could be hitting the app at any given time. Am I missing something, or is this just not what VPNs were designed to do? Thanks, Jon
