Its' all one big LAN but one of the guys on the HantsLUG I'm a member of has tried it acorss ADSL
using OpenSWAN I think.
All one domain the users home dirs live on the central server but things like our Intranet, shared
area & admin shares are all on different servers.
Does this answer your questions ??
