IPSEC is a general protocol available in recent versions of windows
right? I am looking for something that is less bare metal, I think. I'm
not sure what ought to happen on the server side; the idea of course is
to have a server that accepts secured vpn connections and then provides
access to the db layer etc. I'd guess that IPSEC is good with windows
server's built in vpn service. Is it also good with say cisco vpn
devices like pix? I'm sure I can google re this but if anyone has been
through this it'd be interesting to hear about it.
