Inflexible clients, servers, and protocols often prevent VPN's from being smoothly integrated into an already functioning network. The fact that many VPN clients are installed on users' home computers, well out of the reach of the systems administration team, often means that troubleshooting and upgrading VPN systems is time consuming and a struggle for both admins and users.

Do you have to do this manually? If you do this seems like it would be a nightmare to administer more than a few clients.
Also I was wondering about the speed of SSL encryption vs. hardware based IPSEC.
