William,
If you want to use a separate address pool for the VPN connections, then
why don't you just set it up that way on the RRAS server? The "static
pool" essentially acts like DHCP just for the VPN/RRAS clients...
Why do you want to complicate it more than necessary?

Hello,
When configuring a VPN server you are given two choices for address
assignment. The first is DHCP and the second is a static address pool.
When configured to use a static pool you can essentially assign any
subnet to the VPN network. However if you want to use DHCP you are
required to choose a network adapter from which to assign addresses.
If you choose to use the Internal Interface then your VPN clients will
share the address space of the internal network.
I would like to use DHCP for address assignement and still have the VPN
network setup in its own address space. However this does not seem to be
possible. If I enable the DHCP relay agent on the VPN server and point
it at my DHCP server there is no way to tell the VPN interface when you
make your request "use this subnet". Instead it will use the subnet
associated with the adapter chosen on the IP property page.
If I am reading this correctly: Choosing a specific adapter is the only
way to configure the TCP/IP paramters of the VPN pseudo interface. In
otherwords it is the only way to decide on which subnet VPN clients will
use.
Is there another way? The only thing I can think to do is add another
network adapter to my server and use it as the configuration adapter.
However this complicates things quite a bit and will require changing my
ISA server's config quite a bit.
Is there a way to use DHCP and assing the IP subnet to a VPN interface
without using a "Real" Interface?
Thanks
Bill
