Hi Eric,

Those doctors certianly can be a pain ;-)

I'm not clear why split tunnel would be a problem in this situation. Who are 
the VPN clients and where are they located? Are they located behind a firewall 
under your administrator control?

Thanks!
Tom

Ok, I've been researching this quite a bit, but am having trouble convincing my 
superiors that this is a bad idea.  We have a university that wants to have an 
always on vpn tunnel (access to their inside and to the internet at the same 
time) from us to them to allow doctors to access their internal web library.  
I've already setup ISA to talk to their squid to allow authentication requests 
to pass, so I don't see the need and think it would be a huge hindrance to our 
corporation to allow this tunnel to exist.  I've ran out of ammo and would 
appreciate anyone's thoughts and suggestions.  (final note, they want this to 
occur via cisco vpn concentrators on both ends.  So instead of a single 
workstation being able to connect, all 3000 pc's would have the ability)
