Question : ASA 5510 with SBS2003

I have read another member's post about using the ASA 5510 with SBS 2003.  My questions are a little different, I believe.

I currently have the server using two NIC's.  One configured for the outside world (68.10.154.20) and the other configured for the internal world (172.30.10.1).  Since I'm going to hook up the ASA 5510 for site-to-site VPN should I change my SBS 2003 server setup and allow the ASA 5510 to be the receiver and assign DHCP?  (Currently the server is the DHCP provider.)

Thanks in advance.

Answer : ASA 5510 with SBS2003

If I leave everything else alone on the SBS server, won't that cause a problem?  I have the SBS server setup using one NIC for the Internet and one NIC for the local IP's.  If I do as you have indicated, should I just disable the Internet NIC and then re-run the ICW on the server? --> Yes that is what i would do. Not sire if the ICW will set the default gateway for you on the first nick but set that to the inside address of the ASA if it doesn't

Also, since the server is handing out DHCP, will I need to configure the ASA for port 1 as a connection to the server and port 2 as a connection to the switch?  Right now, I have port 0 on the ASA setup for the outside and port 1 setup for the inside using currently assigned IP's.  So I'm presuming that port 2 would need to be configured to connect to the switch for the rest of the computers.  Or, do I just connect port 1 to the switch and the internal NIC connection from the server to the same switch?  I'm thinking the last option is correct.  ---> as far as the network is concerned it is all the same thing. Port 0 should be for the outside the rest of the ports are just a switch, plugging the server into the ASA or the switch that is plugged into the ASA won't make a difference.
