We use SSL VPNs but only for RDP into terminal servers with cut-n-paste disabled. The terminal servers are on the same network segment as our workstations (separate from the corporate network, TYVM). What that gives us is view-only access into our managed environment. That way, I have tier-III guys who can fix what they need to, but they still don't have full VPN access so I don't have to worry about data leaking out *that* way. Hi Dave

I'll be nice and leave the link. This does not mean that I advocate the product above mentioned by Eric. Be your own judge. Hmm. I’ll be nice and leave the link.

Be your own judge.

In our experience (full disclosure: I'm a marketing guy at an SSL VPN manufacturer) we see things breaking down between the kinds of applications that need to be accessed. If you just want basic access to OWA or other web apps, for instance, most of the major players will do the trick. If you're looking to lock down Windows terminal services or Citrix, then you can narrow the field because not every SSL VPN is interested - or works will with - server-based apps. AEP makes the Netilla SSL VPN which has some neat tricks specifically for terminal server environments (and would work with that iPhone of yours too).
