iTunes sync over VPN..can't do

I would like to do an iTunes sync over VPN but this doesn't work.


Has anyone ever done this?


I set up VPN service on my 10.6 server and VPN works fine, I can VPN on from an outside computer to my network w/ no issue and see my network.


When I VPN to my network on my iPad or iPhone, I get connected and the device gets an ip but I can't initiate a iTunes sync.


Was this just not meant to be? It should.

I'm working on trying to figure this out too. I have a working VPN setup. To sync itunes, I am thinking that the itunes on the remote computer must have an itunes library that points to the main itunes library on the host computer. I think I have changed my itunes library on my remote computer to the library on the host via Preferences and the Advanced tab. There is a place there to change the location of your itunes library. When I click change, I can navigate to the itunes media location on the host.


I am syncing now, and will be able to confirm the results tomorrow when I have access to the host. Hopefully the sync won't have messed something up. But, I am thinking this is working...
