Robert,

Let me clarify a little. This is for a service Providers network. Let me 
make some comments below:

Chris>> Need cheap CPE devices. The above was just one example. DSL bridge 
through a DSLAM using a Bridge Group at the PE with DHCP for IP Addressing 
so that telecommuters for an enterprise can get the same IP address wherther 
they are at work or at home or a SOHO office. IE: The DHCP server for that 
particular user is the actual enterprises Server

Chris>> Does not seem practical. Are you saying put a LINUX WS at each site? 
That eliminates the cost advantage of using Ethernet then doesn't it?? Also 
in the VLAN scenario would that not mean the clients Internet traffic could 
route back to the VPN path? (Note: If the client did nothing about it and 
was outsourcing the service to us the SP)
