I understand that and it's your ballpark so you move the infield fence where 
ever you like. :)

It is a good workable solution though; rock-solid and once setup and locked 
down is practically hands-free.

Those of you who have known me a long time: did you ever think you'd see me 
touting Linux? :)

Ha! True. This is why I did not place constraints on any of those 3 factors 
with the exception stating that I did not want something home brewed. I figured 
that would have implied that I didn't care about trying to  do something on the 
cheap.

Not interested in anything home-brewed.

My Google-fu seems to be failing me. I know that infoblox has DNS and DHCP 
hardware appliances, but I don't see anything for Active Directory 2003/2008. 
I'm only interested in this for remote offices, not for my core. The idea would 
be to eliminate buying a server, maintaining that server, the OS, etc, for our 
remote offices.

Does such exist, and if so, does the collective brain trust have any experience 
with them?

TIA,

Jonathan
