   Hi all,   
      
      I just received the DFL-200 VPN router I mentioned in my previous post.   
   It does allow the remote site to have a dynamic IP. :-)   
      
   Questions:   
      
   1- What's best for the remote sites... hardware (DI-804HV's) or software   
   (NETDEFEND, WinXP) solutions? And why?   
   2- Is there ANY advantage to using additional DFL-200's at the remote sites?   
   Other than two-way dynamic IP access? Would this give better performance   
   (DLink claims these units have a VPN accelerator engine or something) and/or   
   security?   
      
   Ouch, I just noticed after proof-reading the above, that having the DFL-200   
   at the _main_ site will allow the _remote_ sites to have dynamic IPs... not   
   exactly useful for me right now. So, if I wanted to use a DI-804HV at the   
   remote sites, they would require the main site to have a Static IP...   
   ughghgh!!! SO, DI-804HV at main, with DFL-200 at remote would work... but   
   this just doesn't seem right... maybe option 2 above really is best?   
      
   Any suggestions??   
      
   Please help, thanks in advance!
