Hello,

My cousin has a small company and only two servers. He says his current
setup is as follows:

Machine A: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, Two NIC's, RRAS as NAT/Firewall,
Exchange 2003 (I know, bad idea)

Machine B: On Internal LAN running W2K3 server to be used as file server.

How would he set up a VPN for his 50 remote users who work out of their
houses and hotels? I'm pretty sure most of the clients are running XP. The
main purpose will be for them to use Outlook 2003 after connecting to the
VPN (they have OWA, but some users want to be able to use the MAPI client
with .ost files when offline). Specifically, how do you configure the VPN
so that remote clients obtain the correct DNS settings to that they'll
resolve to the backend Exchange server?

Thanks
