LCS2005 and Messenger 5.1

[gmasson]

Scenario:
1 LCS 2005 server in a central location. VPN connections from remote
locations to the central location ( star pattern ).
Locaion A is the main office.
Location B and C are remote offices.
Location A connects to B and C across the VPN
Location B does not connect to C
Location C does not connect to B

Location A can establish text, voice and video to location B and location C
Location B can establish text only to location C. Voice and video fail.

Question ( multipart):

1. Does the voice and video fail because the VPN is not a web ( no direct
connection between location B and C?)

2. Would Proxies in these locations solve this issue?

3. Would a fully meshed VPN solution solve this issue? ( VPN from A to B, B
to C, and C to A, giving VPN visibilty across the location ?

Thanx

GM
