That would make sense. I was a bit confused by the following
however...
Quoth ChicagoTech.net:

I don't know. I never use RRAS that way. I use it with DHCP (the real DHCP)
and the Relay Agent.

[Phil] Never used CMAK, was never interested in it,..so I can't help you

How do you deploy VPN connectoids to clients?

I don't "deploy" connectiods. They are too simple and too few of them to
bother.

the DHCP relay agent. I checked and noticed two interfaces in the
relay agent console; "Local Area Connection" and "Internal".

[Phil] Supposed to be that way. This is probably the Root of all
your
trouble. I think for the DHCP Relay Agent to work correctly it needs
to be
set to Local Area Connection because that is the interface that
"faces" the
DHCP Server that the agent needs to do all of its "agent-ing" with.
But I
could be wrong,...try that first, if it doesn't work set it to
"internal". <<

Just to make sure that we're on the same page; I see "Local Area
Connection" and "Internal" when I select the "DHCP Relay Agent"
heading under "IP Routing" in the RRAS console. Both were set to
"Relay mode: Enabled". For giggles, I disabled "Internal" but that
didn't change anything.

There's a second setting that affects DHCP. If you right-click >>
properties the RRAS server in the RRAS console and then select the
"IP" tab you'll see at the bottom a place where you can select the
interface that is used for getting DHCP for clients. The local area
connection on the LAN is the selected interface. "Internal" is not a
choice here; Only the local area connection and then a 1394 adapter
(Firewire card).

Flustered, I turned off the DHCP relay agent,

I turned it back on and am successfully getting DHCP to VPN clients.

Done.

Could this be a problem with my DHCP server? It's just a LinkSys RV082
that acts as the Gateway, DNS, DHCP, and space heater. That would be
curious since all clients on the LAN get DHCP with options just fine.

You should:
1. Throw out the Linksys box. (optional)
2. Let the RRAS box *be* the Router (optional)
3. Run DHCP, DNS, WINS on the Domain Controller
4. Do not make the RRAS box the Domain Controller.
5. All hosts on the LAN use the DC for the DNS
6. The DC/DNS then uses the ISP's DNS in the Forwarders List within the DNS
Service Config
