I just run the routing and remote access from the windows server and open the VPN port on the router. I have never had a problem with getting disconnected and the speed is about the same as in the office. I could see where the more users you have, the more of a problem it would be. With a terminal emulation (RDP/Citrix) you are pretty close to being capped as far as how much bandwidtth you use. With a VPN it's how much data the client can request and how big is your pipe. About the only way to contain it is implementing bandwidth caps on your vpn users. I do not know at what point though (cap on a VPN) vista service starts to degrade.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: Vantage 8 over VPN/WAN
We tried it for a few months and the users were frequently
disconnected and it ran very sluggish. To be fair, there is a lot of
other traffic running through our connection to the plant (Exchange,
BlueCoat, etc.) and it choked it out. We opted for Citrix and it's
running great now. It seems to me like you have to consider the
other activity over the connection and if it's light, it may work
fine. An Epicor consultant told me that it's really hit or miss with
Vantage over VPN.
