Network setup - new office in another country
Hi
Our head office is located in Auckland, New Zealand. We have a new office in London which I would like to attach to our infrastructure (domain, exchange etc). The UK office has an ADSL2+ connection. I have to give them a file server at a minimum but I would like to make it a DC and Exchange server also. They will need to be able to access our network (file servers, SQL servers etc) and normally I would just setup a hardware VPN connection between their office and ours but I would still perfer for their internet traffic not to have to come all the way back to NZ, only the domain traffic.
How would I go about achieving this? I've seen and heard about using RAS and ISA
This also raises the following question
1. Should I put the UK office on a new domain or just on the same domain as our Head Office?
I'm thinking we keep them on the one domain to make life easier for exchange/SQL etc) but i'm not sure as i've seen both types of implementation.

Quori
Use the infrastructure VPN connection method, however setup split-tunneling. With this setup, any traffic bound for your internal address range(s) will go over the VPN however anything else will go out the public connection.
you can set up ISA site to site vpn "you can use the ISA server three leg network template" + Domain Controller in caching mode at their location.
