I currently have everything in house, web server hosting, exchange servers, CRM, VoIP Trixbox, etc... I have run into some major bandwidth problems and have decided that taking most of these bandwidth sucking applications off site and putting them into a hosted cage (with 32 IP address) would be the best. I have to pay for bandwidth usage, etc... At the moment, everything is sitting behind a monowall firewall. Very straight forward and great. I plan on physically splitting my Win2k3 network up so that some parts stay on the old site and others are moved to the new site (Two AD servers, one at each location). I would still like to be able to build and add machines to the Win2k3 domain at the old site and have that information sync out to the new site. It would also be nice to still be "part of the network neightbourhood" so that machines can see each other, and browse shares, etc... I guess I have to worry about bandwidth usage, do not want useless traffic back and forth. Can anyone suggest an effective, straight forward way of doing this? (since every 1u rack space costs me money, bandwidth costs me money and I'd rather not make a large investment in hardware if I can avoid it). I have an old Linksys BEFVP41 ... No clue how to use it or if it can be used. I am guessing that a networked VPN Connection (maybe this old Linksys) from the old site to the new site might be best. But I do not know if this is the best way or where to start looking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Chuck |
