I've got a standard Dell docking station with both an external monitor and the laptop's LCD panel working together. It was pretty straightforward. The only tricky bit for me (on Ubuntu) is not being able to directly undock and have it intelligently deal with the disappearance of the external display. I still don't have a good solution for that one.

At my old employer I used to have a Dell (620 I believe).
The docking station had a DVI and VGA output. You could either:
1. Run two LCDs off the VGA and DVI.
2. Run one LCD off either and the laptop screen.
I was doing #1 successfully.
