Email....what to do part2 :)

OK, you all have me talked into and pumped about my using the SBS Exchange.
I have a few more questions. Mainly the infrastructure of the network.

Main Office
1. Business static ip with Road Runner.
2. Netgear FWAG114 router/firewall
a. router is handling the DHCP
b. DNS is pointing to Road Runner
c. VPN running with office in Dallas and my Home
3. SBS Server 2003 Standard.
a. DNS is pointing to the servers LAN address : 192.168.1.103

Dallas Office (no server)
1. SBC DSL Business Static IP
2. Netgear router FWAG114
a. DHCP running on router
b. VPN hitting the Main office router
c. they are not logging into the server, but they do have user accounts
on the server. They are using the server drives and the Companyweb. (They
would be lost with out this)

A couple of questions:
1. With the main office setup...after I get the A record pointing to the
static IP address and the MX record pointing to the A record is Exchange
going to work with the SBS server DNS pointing to its own Local address?

2. Will the Dallas office be able to setup their mail accounts using
exchange even if their computers are not part of the domain?

I'm sure more question will come. :) I'm kinda scared to change
anything...it has been working really well since last July.

Thanks again for all who answered my question on Saturday. This site has
been the most helpfull site for me on the internet. Thank you so much guys!!!
