I am just a bit curious how you define the border of your network?

Are there any users currently using or planning to implement Network
Admission Control (NAC) into their data network infrastructure?  We are
currently listening to vendor presentations on the good, bad and ugly of
this implementation (not that vendors would agree w/the latter two).  We
will soon be given a mandate for network infrastructure to enforce
security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access oour network
resources, in order to limit damage from security threats, and this
implementation into our environment will change our users forever.

If anyone has recommendations, horror stories and/or just good
information please pass it on.
