A server at the remote site is also highly desirable for storing files and printing functions. What good is being able to logon if no network services can be accessed?
Placing a server at the remote site not only permits local LDAP authentication, it can also be used as the local print server, mail server, file server and who knows what else. Rsync and a cron job can synchronize the files with the main file store on a nightly basis, if desired. With this architecture, the overall bandwidth requirements of the WAN are greatly reduced as well, improving the responsiveness of the local systems.
