Our vpn clients will vpn to a fixed static ip.
Our DNS only runs on our inside lan.
we think that dhcp will allocate IP addresses to the
vpn clients intead of rras. rras has a check box
that will allow a dhcp server to allocate the addresses
rather than rras. we think dhcp will update dns
once it is doing the job rather than the
address pool scheme in rras.

ok. do I just check "register in dns" on the clients end to allow this
and is there more at the server I do?

I am unfamiliar with WINS.
almost with you here, until you said "as long as clients have a wins
registration"
what does that mean?
