Steve,

Your thing is on. :)

I think the lack of response is probably due to a lack of understanding on
what you're attempting to do; it took me a few times reading over your query
before I thought I understood what it is you're attempting to do.

To reiterate:

You have two networks, L (local) and R (remote).

Wireless clients on the L network authenticate against an Authentication
Server you've set up and also hands out DHCP leases to the wireless
clients.  The L wireless clients use the Authentication Server as their
default gateway, as defined in the DHCP scope options that the L wireless
clients use (which implies it's routing).

On your R network, you have wireless clients that you want to use the
Authentication Server on the L network.

If authentication is all you're concerned about, you should be able to set
up your the wireless controller on the R network to use the Authentication
Server on the L network.

It got a bit murky when I was considering the use of the Authentication
Server as a DHCP server for the R network clients (since it's the DHCP
server for the L network clients).  However, after reading over the original
query a few times, it doesn't look like that is what you're attempting to
do.

My client uses Internet Authentication Service on Windows Server 2003 to
provide authentication to wireless clients on remote subnets and the way we
facilitate that connectivity is by simply telling the wireless controller
the IP address of the server running IAS.  As long as traffic can be routed
between your two sites, you should be fine.

Does that answer your question or did I not interpret the query correctly?
