Pix question

Hi all,
I need help and I have a question regarding a PIX 501 and a VPN
We have a remote user setup to have her home DSL computer split tunnel
between a County laptop and a home computer so that they don't see each
other.
The home pc gets a DHCP from the pix and it lets her go to the internet
provided by the DSL.
The laptop has a static IP that is routed from the PIX to the internal
Network of the County. Seamless...
The problem is when she comes into her office at the County and cannot
change her Static IP to DHCP and get on the network. We cant allow that and
her Replicator that she docks to cannot just give her a DHCP address.
The question I have is can the PIX do a split DHCP? Someone told me it cant.
I thought you could do that just like you could spilt scopes on a Windows
server.
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks,
Al

Do you work for my County? We have exactly the same setup, and problem. Our
solution is to reverse the DHCP scope on the PIX 501. Allow the County PC to
pick up a single DHCP address, so it can use DHCP at both locations. Set the
home PC's up as Static addresses. (We use a /29 scope at the client end, 6
IP addresses should be plenty for a home network.) The VPN rules should
still work, as the Laptop will still have the same IP address assigned, just
by DHCP, not static.
