Re: 3 NIC IP routing issue & local dhp client issue

Like Phillip I am not at all sure what you are trying to do here. But
here is a bit of advice. It is too complex. Running multiple NICs in a DC is
a bad idea. Using a DC as a router is a bad idea. Using a DC for remote
access is a bad idea. It can be done (else SBS wouldn't exist) but it can be
a real pain. You will find it all much simpler if you use a separate machine
for routing and remote access.

Why are you trying to run DHCP relay? Aren't all your DHCP clients on
the local LAN? Remember that the DHCP service must be authorised in AD
before it will work.
