What about the DC? Was that connected to the internet or do you have a
router?

Good. Then simply moving the VPN server to a member server and disabling it
on the DC will take care of it. Don't forget to adjust the port map rules to
reflect the new location for PPTP. You know you can also use the Cisco PIX
VPN service. It's much more secure, especially with using the Cisco client.
You can configure it to use AD by using RADIUS.

Should dc2 be setup as active directory like dc1 or should it be set up
as a secondary?

Finally got the other rras server working. We tried using the pix for
vpn, but there were problems with the cisco client not working with the
exchange owa. It has been a long time since we tried that, so cisco may
have fixed the client by now, so I will look into it. Thanks!
