If you have enough bandwidth on the far side, and the only requirement is to 
use this one application, your simplest configuration is probably a GRE 
tunnel as was suggested earlier. You certainly can do it with a router - I 
wouldn't try it with the site's edge router, though. You also should be able 
to do it with a Linux box of some reasonable size. I would probably try to 
isolate the DVTS machine(s) onto a separate subnet, and connect that subnet 
back to the RIT campus with the tunnel. 

Note that I haven't actually *tried* this, but it looks OK on paper ;)

Bill.
