Re: [Fed-Talk] OS X VPN requirements

Thank you. I am aware of the limits about Bonjour.

The point I want to make is that I don't want to worry about what is doing this. I want the VPN server running on the OS X server performing this function. This is what I want added as a requirement of OS X VPN. Along with SSL VPN.
