RRAS server location

Is it possible that the
remote access server gives an IP range to the remote
access clients from another subnet than the server itself
is located in?

My problem is where to place the server running RRAS in my
network. The clients need to access the same information
from home that they access at work. Therefore; the
alternatives are: to place the remote access server in the
DMZ as close to the Internet as possible, or to place the
server in the subnet where the services the clients wants
to access is located. There will be firewalls in front
ragardless of which alternative.

thanks.

You can specify IP address range from another subnet but you will need to
configure the routes on the VPN server appropriately to be able to route
those packets. You need not have the RAS server to be in the DMZ if you can
configure your firewall appropriately to allow port forwarding.
