There is a simple remote sunray setup if you register a domain and add the following entries with your providers DNS:
sunray-servers.yourdomain.net (SRS) and
sunray-config-servers.yourdomain.net (TFTP server)

Buy a cheap $30 router with DHCP server.
Configure the DHCP server to tell the connected sunrays that they are in yourdomain.net The sunrays will look for sunray-config-servers.yourdomain.net to load the settings from the tftpboot directory (parms files).
They will then start the session with the Sunray server, also found by DNS.
No expensive hardware needed at your daughters site.

It would even be enough to only register the sunray-config-servers since you can also set the sunray-servers value within the .parms files in the tftpboot directory.

Setting it via firmware would be a great step forward for home based solutions.

I've got a sunray (or two) running from a server at home, it would be great to give my daughter a sunray to have at her mum's (as she has dsl), but I'm not going to fork out for a whole lot of vpn hardware. Anyone doing serious work from home seems to have broadband, so a device that would just plug in and work would be great ..... I'm sure Sun must be thinking that too with the number of users working from home?
