Quick Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Question

[turbo510]

I've established a Client to Server VPN connection using the RAS on a Win2000 Server. If I wanted to establish a Gateway-to-Gateway (Site-to-Site) connection with 2 offices, is it simply a matter of making 2 client-to-server connections? (As in Office1 (VPN client) to Office2 (VPN server) plus Office2 (VPN client) to Office1 (VPN Server)).

Or is it a matter of a setting in the VPN server which automatically allows gateway to gateway once a client-to server connection is established?

TIA.

I believe if you use 2 servers, you can create an IPSec policy that will establish a tunnel. They would need to be multi-homed and route. The above description of 2 clients, one at each site, and servers, will only work if those clients are routing as well....
