While I'm not in the edu field, I'm guessing that most principals would find this a bother, to put it mildly. IMHO, a Web-based solution is probably best here. As an alternative to DL'ing, installing, and setting up SSL-Explorer (which we also use in our shop), Netgear makes an inexpensive (~$300) 25-user SSL VPN appliance (my suspicion is that it's driven by the commercial version of SSL-Explorer-same look and feel). I've seen it in action, and it works very well.
