We also had this issue and decided to tackle the unsupported method of using a 
Linux software IPSec implementation to interface with the Sun Ray 2 built-in 
VPN client.  I just finished getting it to work this morning and will be 
documenting it online.  If anyone is interested, I can send a link to the list 
with the documentation page when I am finished with it.

With some initial testing, I've found that using the built-in VPN with our 
Linux IPSec seems to be slightly faster than using OpenVPN on a WRT54GL running 
DD-WRT.  I don't know how that compares to a Cisco VPN appliance, and how well 
we can scale our setup; still testing some of that.

  Subject: [SunRay-Users] Hardware for Sun Ray at home installation


  Hi all,

  I have multiple machines (virtualized) running Solaris 10 and Sun Ray 
  Server. Each machine has it's own public ipaddress and can be reached 
  from the internet. I want to make users be able to connect to their 
  servers via the internet with Sun Rays at home. In the past we have 
  realized that with OpenVPN on the server and OpenVPN on the client side.


  SRS (OpenVPN) <- - - - - internet - - - - -> LinkSys (OpenWRT) or 
  Telco-Server with OpenVPN installed --- Sun Ray

  This works great but requires extra hardware on the client side which 
  we would like to avoid if possible. Since the new Sun Ray 2 is not able 
  to talk OpenVPN we probably need to add a router to the data center 
  which talks EasyVPN with the Sun Ray 2s. Is one cisco router sufficient 
  for all servers or do we need one router per sun ray server? Can 
  anybody recommend a suitable (not so pricy) router and may be even a 
  link to a cook book for setting it up for the above described purpose?

  Thanks a lot,

     Andreas
