All versions SBS have supported additional domain controllers on the
domain - as long as all the FSMO roles remain with the SBS box, you can add
additional DCs - not a problem. However, as SuperG points out - it's one of
the less well understood aspects of SBS and lots of folks don't realize it.

I was under the impression that a BDC could not be added to a Small
Business Server Domain. Is this only true with SBS 2003?

You can't move the AD off of SBS. Period. But you _could_ add Server 2k3
as a secondary domain controller, and have it do Print and File, and
VPNs. You should keep DHCP with your SBS box, and DNS should be AD
integrated and thus present on both boxes. You could certainly set the
DHCP to have your new server as the primary DNS for clients, though I
wouldn't normally recommend it. But if for some reason the new,
secondary, domain controller had to be removed, it's easy enough to deal
with.
VPNs - you can put this wherever you want. So if you move it off to the
new box, that's fine. But you won't have the CEICW to configure stuff
for you there, I'm afraid. :(

I have a situation where we have outgrown a Windows 2000 SBS Server. We
have about 50 clients, 9 VPN connections, print & file sharing and spam
filtering on top of all of the other SBS functions & we are running out
of drive space fast. We have added new drives already and at this
point it is not an option to add more drives. What I would like to do
is add a new Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server as the PDC to do AD,
DHCP, DNS, VPNs Print and File sharing and then keep the 2000 SBS
server to just handle exchange and spam filtering and disable all other
features. I do understand that the 2000 server cannot run as a BDC and
will not share the AD. What sort of problems am I going to run into by
doing this?
