ISA to ISA firewalls work very well, IMHO. That's what I'd do, personally.

Thank you all for your posts.
I currently run our SBS server with two NIC's behind a perimeter hardware
firewall. All three locations are currently linked with vpn tunnels between
the firewall routers. But, those vpn tunnels terminate outside of the SBS
firewall on the server, thus requiring the remote clients to use the
connection to small bus server to access recourses on the server. My goal in
adding the 3rd NIC would be to establish those vpn tunnels behind the SBS
firewall to allow access to those recourses on the server without the use the
client vpn connection. I would also want to remove the perimeter router at
our main office and use ISA 2004 instead. Any thoughts our comments would be
appreciated.

Two NICs is quite bad enough; I think you're better off with one and a good
firewall.
If your VPN tunnel is set up between compatible hardware endpoints (I like
Sonicwalls for this; IPSEC VPN) your server need not know anything about it.
Keep things simple....it'll work better.
