Kickstart and Authentication Proxy

[athos10]

Brian,

Do you mean something such as F5 Firepass ? 
You need to dld only the ks file or using a full network (https/vpn)
install ?

I didn't understand clearly why your work around is not acceptable. What
do you mean in 'This
>is obviously not scalable.  Since many of these VPN users are full-time
>telecommuters, I need to find a scalable way to support them.' ?

I hope it'll help me to help you.
