If you install Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) and use virtual
private networking (VPN), be careful when using DHCP to assign addresses to
VPN clients. According to the number of VPN clients you specify, the RRAS
server will remove that number of addresses from the DHCP server. For
example, if you have a DHCP pool of 200 addresses and configure 100 VPN
clients, the RRAS server immediately leases 100 DHCP addresses on behalf of
the VPN clients. Such action can result in using the entire DHCP pool
unexpectedly. The solution is to be aware of this and either augment your
DHCP scopes properly or carve out a piece of the DHCP address pool and have
the RRAS server itself hand those IPs out.
