hi
i have a network - attached to the www.
it goes Modem - Wireless router - Server - clients

all clients access the web through the server it works and all is well,
now i recently got 2 toshiba tablet pc's and the people using them are
"mobile" now they can access the domain email/desktop etc etc from home and
on the road by using the remote features i have setup - my only issue is how
to treat them when they come into work. i dont want any wireless
hubs/stations inside my network so i will be wanting them to connect using
the routers wireless abilities. Now i need a way of making the tablets act
the same way no matter where they are but when they come into work it should
be a little bit faster as they are only a jump away from the server.

So i "think" i need a way of adding some dns entries into the router to let
it know that certain address such as mail.domain.com and intranet.domain.com
are actually a hop away at 192.168.0.10 (my servers external cards ip)

so im not sure any of this makes sence and im kinda thinking about it as i
go along - im also interested in how other companies handle mobile workers
who also bring the computers into work but dont connect "inside" the
network.
btw - dont wanna use vpn's

thanks if u can help and sorry for the mumbling

Should be doable. If you want to post some more details (infrastructure
details, where private/public IP's are used (you can munge them if you wish,
just designate the differences), which services are where, how everyone gets
to them (i.e. firewall, NAT, what's in DMZ, etc), how your DNS is set up
internally and externally, how your clients get their IP address both
internally and when connecting through the external router's wireless, etc...

You could also post in the networking group as well - would likely get more
responses. Post as much info as you can though if you post in there, as
they'll ask the for the details as well in order to get you the best answer.
