Depends on the situation. I have 8 VPNs to branch offices, 3 with their own Domain Controllers; about 80 computers total all domain members, all users accessing their email over the VPN to our Exchange server.
All branch offices are on cable 2 down 384 up. The main office has a DSL line dedicated to the VPNs - 3 down, 768 up. All Cisco PIX 506Es except 3 smaller branches using Cisco 851s. This has been going for a couple of years with the VPN connections being solid and no major issues with bandwidth. ________________________________ From: N Parr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 9:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Site to Site VPN? Generally but depending on requirements it could be ok for him. We are running an offsite warehouse with computers, ip phones, network printers, etc with Cable at their end and DSL at ours and it's been rock solid. Most providers offer business class services with SLA's now. ________________________________ From: Carl Houseman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 7:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Site to Site VPN? Because DSL/Cable have limited uplink bandwidth, generally. From: N Parr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 8:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Site to Site VPN? Why spend that when you could do it with a couple ASA's and DSL/Cable Connections. ________________________________ From: HELP_PC [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 1:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: R: Site to Site VPN?

We may be needing a VPN connection to our remote data center in the near future for a small office, about 20 users. Does anybody have any experience with the Cisco/Linksys RVS4000? I tried a SonicWall once, it was way over my head, and support was horrendous. This will operate solely as 2 VPN endpoints to connect 2 LANs. Users needing remote access already have Win 2003 RRAS in place.
