Routing Table

[Chris]

When we connect via VPN we currently need to add a static
route for traffic flow from the host. We are doing this
right now with a batch file. Batch file is:

route ADD 172.21.4.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 (VPN IP/gateway)

VPN IP and the network the host is trying to reach are on
different segments VPN 10.x.x.x LAN segment 172.21.4.x.

My problem is to do this right now the user has to be an
administrator of the computer. I would like the user to
be able to do this (add the route) as a limited user.
Does anyone know of a work around so I can do this? Your
help is most appreciated.

You can add a static route option in DHCP. This option allows the client to
plumb the route when it is given an address. Things to note though are you
must be using DHCP to assign addresses to your clients.
