Johnathan 1. You need not worry about the email servers, mapping drives , SQL servers. 2. You just have to get a tunnel endpoint. So your staff who work from homw would be one end point and the other would be the VPN device that you have.Once the home worker gets into your network via VPN he can access anything inside.
Throw in a test topology and may be we could be more specific.

I use SecureRemote from Checkpoint. It is very easy to deploy and does not require specific client to fw VPN rules to be set up for each VPN. However, it only runs on the Windows platform and you need to be using a Checkpoint Firewall.

Our system is an NT domain behind a firewall and with a dmz. I would like to know if there are any comparisons of products/technologies to achieve such tasks as: - connecting to exchange server - connecting to SQL server - mapping drives I am a little confused as to the best way to deploy a solution- use PPTP out of an NT server or use L2TP on W2K? and where to place the server- in the dmz or within the LAN? If I employ NAT does that preclude me from one method?
