If you have servers in multiple countries and people using those servers in multiple locations what's a good way of setting up a VPN?
Any ideas?
simplest method would be to set up a VPN service with the same user credentials on all servers and let users choose which one to connect to, depending on where they are. Document the recommended VPN server for each region. Maybe also provide a shell script which pings each one to find the fastest/closest. LDAP's probably overkill unless you're already using it for other stuff. rsyncing the user credential file(s) from a "master" location to all other servers would work.
Support is required for Linux servers and Linux, Windows, and OS/X clients.
maybe a powershell ping script too. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
