Running Windows RAS on hyper-v guest VM
I was wondering what the experts thought are on having a Hyper-V VM that is used as A Remote Access Server? Also, what other features or roles would make it more secure?

The Host machine is a HP DL380 g6 and has 2 quad core processors and 20 gig of RAM. I have one vm for a second DC/DNS server for the domain, and one vm for antivirus. I will be serving maybe, 8-10 users max at any one time. I am looking for a basic vpn solution that provides reasonable protection and service. I have six network ports so I think I could use one for an external interface. I am curious as to the most effective way to configure the interfaces and the maybe the whole VM.

Now I need a good guide for installing the VPN/RAS.

I've implemented a few RAS servers on both physical and virtual hosts and each case is different. If you just want to offer a PPTP or IPSec VPN service for a handful of users you would probably be ok with using a VM with a decent processor and at least 1GB RAM assigned to it, but as I've said its usually dependent on the above factors at a very minimum.
