Accessing a backend server using Remote Desktop Web Connection

hi,

I have two Windows 2000 servers - server1 & server2 as
part of a LAN. Only server1 is connected to the Internet,
and is hosting the RDP Web connection through IIS. I can
use RDP to control this server in remote administration
mode OK.

The other server - server2 - is running Terminal Services
in Application mode - but is not Internet connected.

I would like to be able to connect to server2 from any
suitable Internet connection (not on LAN\WAN\VPN),
effectively using server1 as a gateway.

Is this possible without first establishing a VPN
connection to the network? or can the RDP Web Connection
running on server1 enable me to login remotely to server2?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks.

forget vpn, just ts in to 1 and then ts into 2 from there.
