Re: Linksys Router with SBS question

Thanks for the help that answers my question. I however was reading some
info about installing a site to site VPN with a dual nic SBS2000 setup and
it seems that there are dns problems. Is it possible to use ISA with the 2
nic setup or would going to a 1 nic be a better solution?


Thanks
