I think that's probably the best solution I've heard to that problem.  
Simple, cheap, and effective, I like it.  The user will grumble about having 
to reboot to access company resources, but that's acceptable.  Question 
though, how are you going to handle it if they have a complicated home 
setup, or if they change their internet connection?
