Windows 2K or 2K3 can give you that.
They don't have a hard-coded limit to the number of VPN connections; you'll be 
limited by the same factors we've already discussed.

the VPN solution is just for email only. It seems that I don't need in install 
ISA Server 2000 on Windows 2003 if it has the hard
code limited like this. I will expect 2000+ connection on my exchange server.

any suggestion ?


Very best regards,

Marrow Yung.

Hi Marrow,

It depends on what the users will do while connected. Most VPN connections site 
idle, so they're not using much in terms of
processor cycles. If your users are transferring DVD images of their favorite 
TV shows, then just one or two can be enough to bring
your server to a grinding almost halt. The thing about number of users is are 
there hard coded limits to the number of accounts that
are allowed to VPN. Win2k doesn't have a hard coded limit, and Win2003 has a 
limit of 1000. Do you expect 1000 concurrent
connections?

HTH,
Tom

I am looking for a VPN unlimited connection solution, I see that all the VPN 
broadband router can only support maximum 70 VPN
Connections in the router level. However, I need the unlimited one for my own 
company. What I am thinking is, I buy a Intel 10/100
Pro S Server Adapter , which can support hardware IPSec in the NIC card itself( 
the spec. in intel says that, that's why it is
Server NIC , not desktop NIC), then I use the VPN function in the ISA Server 
2000 to create VPN connection for all of my client. In
the router level I will only let the router enable the VPN bypass function , 
which is a common function in all router in Hong Kong.

What do you think about my VPN unlimited solution? The pricing of this 
combination will only cost 100-200 more Hong Kong dollar when
compare with using VPN router. Which is very good if I need more than 70 VPN 
connections.

the shop keeper tell me it is impossible to have unlimited VPN connection (I 
think he mean in the router level), he say even it can,
the bandwidth for 70+ VPN connection can't handled by broadband connection. Is 
that true ?  I will have a broadband connection of
10Mbps upstream 10Mbps downstream. It still not enough ? I am not going to 
assume they all connnect at the same time (through you
can say why I don't use VPN router if I don't assume it will handle all at the 
same time, but I want to make it unlimited in the
lowest price, the hightest price is I link up all VPN router to make it support 
more than 70 VPN Connections if one VPN router is
over limited).


Very best regards,

Marrow Yung.
