Hi All,

Would it be possible to have two networks running both with SBS 2008 boxes
(192.168.55.X & 192.168.54.X), both in the same office sharing the same
default gateway, but connected via a VPN?

I just need to know if this is possible :)

Many Thanks

The subnet mask you'd have to use would wind up allowing each environment to see each other's DHCP server and this will cause issues

Obviously you're trying to a single internet connection?

Hello,

Thanks for your post and Cris' input.

Both the clients and the server will use the router/firewall's internal
address as their default gateway. As Cris pointed, if you put the two SBS
domains in the same physical network office connected with same Default
gateway, the two SBS servers which both are DHCP server will detect each
other and may shut down itself or cause other network issues.
