For one of the deployments I was involved with at my company, instead of using our normal VPN we used a Neoteris IVE device. It integrates very well with Citrix's Nfuse (or "Web Interface for Application Server" now, I think) web portal. It also has the neat feature of pushing down a Java-based session manager when you connect, so you don't need to get the VPN client pre-installed on client workstations. I'm not sure what the cost is, so I can't say if it'll fit in your budget or not, but I know our telecom guys were happier with it for external access than a traditional VPN because it's really more of a reverse proxy than a real VPN solution, so it can be more secure. Might be worth a look. -Jeff

I was going to be using Cisco-based 3des VPNs out to clients who will use the vpn client s/w loaded on their machines, an adsl connection and citrix for a remote desktop. I was going to employ a securID or similar box to provide additional security. Could anyone out there recommend any other options? I want the connection to be very secure and allow for a concurrent usage of up to 50 clients coming in at any one time. Your help will be much appreciated...
