RE: VPN overkill?

["Thomas F. Szabo" <tszabo () diamondtech net>]

I've got a few pix firewalls deployed at remote sites connecting back to
a concentrator just like you describe and it works fine.  I just
wouldn't go below a PIX 506 at the remote site.  Good luck with your
deployment.

You're right about the details. How incredibly stupid of me.
The setup is pretty basic. It's going to be used for after hours backup 
uploads, and day time file access. Nothing too intensive. Roughly 10
people 
at the remote site, not more than 2 or 3 accessing resources on the
central 
server at a given time. Yes there will be servers on both ends.
There will not be any remote application usage.
It's the base of the basics.

T1.

The basic setup is:
Remote Lan
Server
Border Router
PIX
{internet}
Concentrator
Router
Server
Central Lan
etc.....
