This would be awesome! I have had a LOT of demand from my users for
iPad/iPhone functionality and they look at me funny when I say it's not
currently possible.

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the
two and get a better understanding.
