Accessing a backend server using Remote Desktop Web Connection

[Tristian Roberts]

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.
