So, how does this show up on your box? Two independent network adapters, one of which has an IP in your work netblock, the other being whatever is appropriate for your home location? I don't ever use VPN myself (I rarely have to use anything other than SSH to do my job from home).
Anyway: I was under the impression that a lot of places don't like that kind of thing, because then if somebody out on the 'net 0wnz j00r b0x via the POI ("plain ol' internet" -- yes, I'm aware that nobody ever calls it that) connection, they're already inside your work firewalls. Granted, I've always thought this was an odd complaint, as an 0wned b0x is an 0wned b0x, and of course I'm not worried about your computer being insecure, because you're not a bonobo. Still, I wonder, and wondering, ask, that I might learn.
