That is correct. All clients on that server should be getting their
DHCP requests handled by the server and they should be getting the DNS
of the SBS server. Where you may get an issue - and I am not sure
because you don't say - is where are the client PCS on this? Are they
on the same segment as the router - i.e, the router is the default
gateway for clients, and you have only one nic in the SBS server)? If
so, turn off the DHCP on the router, and ensure DHCP is switched on on
the SBS server and the SBS server is giving out the router address as
the default gateway and the SBS address as the DNS server. Run the
connect to the Internet wizard to ensure that the SBS DNS server is
set up to use correct forwarders in the DNS server.

Fine.

Yes. You must not change the internal record, we are talking about
the external record hosted at your ISP or nameserver provider. You
will also need to allow port 25 through to the private address of the
SBS box.

Yes. If they are connected via the VPN, then this will work.
Depending on how the VPN is set up, it may be safer to allow Outlook
over HTTP, because the data over the link is encrypted. If the VPN is
IPSEC, then they can just use Outlook and connect to the Exchange
server directly (they will be asked for user cridentials as they are
not on the domain).
Thanks.
