Ok, that does make a lot more sense. However I need to keep the traffic
encrypted to the end-point so I cannot use a VPN gateway which would
then forward the traffic across a network (even a small one). I could
do a VPN connection from the application server to each database server
I guess. What VPN software do you recommend? We are only using
hardware based VPNs at this time.
