hosts file on the workstation..I'll try that but your caveat about
DHCP concerns me...The VPN clients do have a reserved DHCP assigned
address from the router (VPN server) in the same name space .

Is this still alright or is there another situation where you think
hosts file on the workstation could be problematic?

thanks
