Logically, this makes good sense. Do you really want the administration
interface open to the world? If you want/need to manage the APs
remotely, just use your favorite flavor of remote control (original
poster said VNC was working...) to control a "Management PC" on the
subnet. 

In a consulting firm I used to work for, my peers on the Novell side of
the house insisted on have a "Management PC" at each of the sites they
managed and the firm charged a premium for the remote management
service...
