Technical question:

If you have a VMS server and a router connecting to the internet. Do
industrial strength routers have the ability to allow unencrypted flows
on the LAN side and encrypt/decrypt packets as they pass through the
router to the destination ? Or must the IPSEC absolutely be done by
each server inside the LAN with the router just blindly passing packets
? (I am thinking in terms of various negotiations needed to establish
IPsec links etc).

In other words, can IPSec be offloaded to a router, or are the actual
servers tasked to do this generally ?

Also, would people like to see more polls like this? It seems to me a
simple way of get feedback on HP OpenVMS software.
I think that openvms.org would be the best medium to do this, assuming
they have a channel to HP management to provide the results in a
credible way.

The results will certainly be provided to HP Management.

I don't know the answer to your technical question. Hopefully someone
does.

Why did people not show more interest in the EAK?

What *is* an "EAK" ?


Early Adopters Kit????

Posters should generally avoid abbreviations and acronyms unless they are CERTAIN that everyone will understand them. I had to resort to Google which referred me to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia suggests that it could also mean

Acronym Definition
EAK Eating At Keyboard
EAK East Africa Kenya
EAK Extraterrestrial Alternative Knowledge (Sao Joao da Madeira, Portugal band)

Nuff said???
