We have that mess here - times 4, at least - for the customer side of things!

Am I wrong in believing that a simple network is a more secure
network? That since we deal with a lot of customer VPN connections,
rather than NATing them and building holes through all of the
firewalls (3-4 depending) we'd be better off NATing them to a network,
and giving the network the access required? Possibly figure out a way
to PVLAN each customer tunnel so that they can't talk to each other,
etc.?
