It's a stupid recommendation. If your DHCP server is so taxed by the current usage that you need to deploy one just for VPN clients, you need to retire the VIC-20 that is your DHCP server or deploy another one using the 60-40 rule anyway. DHCP, like WINS or DNS is a ridiculously lightweight application and protocol. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Andrew English [mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 16:49 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] VPN and DHCP http://www.ISAserver.org A friend of mine highly recommended that I not tax my internal DHCP server for doing my VPN via ISA 2004, and that I instead install DHCP server on ISA 2004 giving VPN users a different IP range. I am looked at different tutorials, even Tom's book but am not quite sure how to tackle it.
