We are setting up a second location with a second Exchange 2010 box using DAG for replication. Two questions:
1) There are only 60 or so mailboxes. Do we need load balancing? 
2) Would the Cisco RV042G be sufficient?

Would a pair of Cisco RV042G be able to provide Load Balancing for Exhcange 2010 servers at both ends of a VPN?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
