After looking at the Wikipedia page for DirectAccess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectAccess I can't help but be reminded of Apple's "Back to My Mac": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_my_mac Which combines IPSEC VPNs, Dynamic DNS and Bonjour to provide a similar service to MobileMe users on Apple hardware. -- Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
