VNC can be tunnelled over an SSL connection, but VNC is slow anyway. Every site I have worked on has used different remote admin software, from PCAnywhere, to Remote Administrator (not bad for $29, I must admit), to CA ControlIT. However, we always use a VPN to allow certain blocks access and deny all others. Generally the only allowed IP's are from the office, so access from home requires that you VPN to the office network, and then once you have been assigned an IP there, shooting over to the CoLo via Cisco router to router VPN. This solution was even tolerable over a 56k dialup connection with ControlIT and Remote Administrator, PCA and VNC were just sad at low speeds.

I am OK with the admin side of things but would prefer for time reasons to be able to remotely administer this machine. I have always used PCAnywhere, VNC and the MMC. But I now cannot use these due to the security risk. Does anyone else remote admin inside a DMZ and if so how?? All machine are NT 4.0, I use a W2K desktop. (Free would be nice, but I am also interested if there are commercial solutions available). Thanks in advance Matt
