vpn on windows 2003 server



I've set our vpn server to assign addresses from a static pool: 10.0.0.100
to 10.0.0.120

The router is on 10.0.0.138, DHCP is done from the router (not from the
server).

Is this OK? Since, how will the router know not to assign addresses
10.0.0.100 to 10.0.0.120 to computers? It's a Netcomm NB5Plus4 router.

Our vpn server is on our windows 2003 (XP) server computer. This has a fixed
ip address (10.0.0.150) on our local network.

Our router routes VPN packets addressed to our external static IP, through
to the server (passthrough) at 10.0.0.150

VPN does seem to be working.... but I've been questioning the static pool
setup whether this is the correct way to have done it?

There is an IP reserved on our router for the server (10.0.0.150) so it
knows that this is a static address. The reservation was done by putting in
the server's mac address and it's single static IP into the router...
