Ok, i currently have 1 remote site setup with a VPN tunnel to my main site and am currently using a Symantec Firewall/VPN 100 Appliance at the remote site and a Symantec Firewall/VPN 200 Appliance setup at the main site since we have 2 cable modems running at the main site.

At the main site we have 2 cable modems feeding the site setup on a 60/40 balance. There are 3 servers running from here 1 being an exchange server for the enterprise, 1 is the file and remote vpn client server, and the last is the Primary AD server. The remote site has 1 cable modem with 1 Domain Controller and 6 workstations.

Im having to add an additional site here in a few months and am going to have to put in a Domain controller and a workstation at this location and it has to have a constant tunnel to the site and its going to be a DSL connection most likely. I know my symantec equipment can do it im sure just take me some time to get it figured out how to setup a 2nd site so all three sites will be connected but im currently having issues with my routers right now losing the tunnel.

I know my equipment is old and probably needs to be replaced and updated to something more current to handle a 3rd site now and not lose the tunnel between them all. Ive been looking at Symantec and some of their newer VPN routers, but im looking for suggestions from others as what other routers i should look at. Im open to suggestions as long as they are a reasonable price. Ive never messed with cisco before and ive heard its somewhat challenging to setup a tunnel and all that. Remember that the main site has 2 cable modems...

This is going to be the site scheme now that i have it mapped out.

Main Site
IP 10.25.18.0
SUB 255.255.255.0

Site 1 B/CS
IP 10.25.19.0
SUB 255.255.255.0

Site 2 Rockport
IP 10.25.20.0
SUB 255.255.255.0

Let me know what you all think.
