Hi I am from India and use Ethernet based connectivity (which breaks frequently) from a cable ISP who provides a private ip address 172.16.x.x and masqed outbound connectivity. If I am not wrong this solution would also work for those of us who do not have a live ip? I would like to have a site using a vpn so that normal html pages may be served from co-located site whereas database backend pages to be served through my own server using the vpn tunnel (I understand that I would have to use dial-up connectivity as back-up when cable isp fails) and of course mails would have mx of the co-located server. Any comments to such a setup? Performance, Cost, Security? Anyone? Keith I await to read your above page. With regards. Sanjay.
