Roaming Profiles & VPN`s

Is it possible to store profiles at the far end of a VPN.

I have a 2003 X64 server in London and a router to router VPN to Wakefield.  The workstations at Wakefield use the servers in London as though they were in the same office, except I removed the roaming profiles due to speed issues.  I have been looking at windows 2003 storage servers such as the iomega 250d with rev.  Would this enable me to store the profiles locally.  I did try to put them on a bufallo NAS device locally but the AD support on them has major problems.   Although I don`t actually know if the appliaction is possible.  Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Thanks

Thanks Zenith63 I think that a server will be more flexible if I can fit one in the space available.  On the domain at head office I already have 1 AD and 1 Replica AD and they are both global catalogue servers.  Is there a limit as to how many AD`s and GC`s there can be in one domain?

Do you think that the reason it didn`t work on the NAS device was because it was not a member of the domain?  The folder etc.... was accessible from the server at head office and the worstations.

Thanks
