How about lots of GRE tunnels? :-)
RED can kill GRE tunnels over the net. Depends on the protocol they carry. If it is all TCP, you see a lot of slowstart. Of course if their path is free of congestion, then no RED.
Plus there is a lot of configuration for GRE, and most platforms come with 'managed' tunneling like IPsec, SSLvpn, PPTP.
Yeah you'd definitely have to do some coding to make it manageable. They always came in 'handy' but sounds like PPTP might be the way to go for this particular question anyways.
PoPToP is rock solid in my experience and the maintainer is very responsive and helpful (James Cameron).
same Cameron that maintains webmin?
And for your Windos clients the maintainer is pretty good too. Not so responsive, but they pretty much have a stable platform.... :)
