Sorry Jan, but I would not recommend running lotus notes across a vpn that runs on a link slower than 64/128kb. You will be waiting for every sync to happen unless anyone else has better experience.
The VPN and I presume with encryption will already eat a substantial portion of your available bandwidth.

Does anybody know of a cheap, reliable internet connection? Some of he areas I am looking for coverage in is Mbale, Jinja, Kigumba (Masindi). The link does not have to be high speed (we only have a 128Kbit synchronous connection at our national office). Reliability and cost effective are the main factors. I would do a VPN tunnel for the internal traffic (Lotus Notes) and let the internet traffic (web, smtp, pop, etc) go directly (to not load our main line). Would it be feasible to put "parent" squid proxies in these regional offices to a "child" squid proxy at our national office as they might get better connection out there?
