Hi, I have put a post earlier but as an alternative solution what would be
the security risks to have a Hardware based firewall connected to the
Internet, the SBS 2003 server connects to the firewall as below:-

Internet
¦
Hardware based Firewall
¦
SBS 2003 Server

If we then forwarded the relevant Ports to use the SBS 2003 VPN connection
rather than the firewall doing the VPN?

Will work. I use it this way myself (though I found the firewall VPN
more reliable).
