VPN Setup

[Simon Young]

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me...

Im looking to set up a VPN connection between our offices and a remote
server on a server farm. This was due to a failed exchange server, we need
to implement a redundant server but exchange requires windows clustering to
be installed for that, therefore I need to create a VPN environment to have
a single domain covering the two sites so I can set up the cluster, assuming
we can install a cluster in that way

Thing is, we have a checkpoint firewall between our offices and the
internet, so how would that effect the VPN configuration as that holds our
public IP address, would you just add two cards to the VPN server, both with
internal addresses only one with the default gateway of the internal IP for
the checkpoint firewall, then allow the relevant ports through the
checkpoint at this end, then do the same at the remote server farm?

Thanks in advance

Simon

The Checkpoint Firewalls *are* the VPN Servers. They are what you should be
using. Checkpoint are supposed to be high-end firewalls, surly they can do
this.
