[AccessD] VPN Connection to another site

They have routers now that you can assign certain MAC addresses to a
static address via DHCP. Next time you have to do this, you may want
to see if your router supports it.

Makes any IP changes a lot easier as you then only have to work with
the router's configuration instead of that and each individual static
machine.
