I've two Servers located in two different Countrys. One is SBS(AD), One is
Win2000 server(member server, no AD).
There are using the Linksys VPN Router to connect these two
computers(network). The internet connection in Win2000 site is not too
stable, it will drop the connect anytime and the VPN connection will drop at
the same time. When it is lost, it will be caused a big Problem. The client
computers on the site on Win2000 server will not be abled to access the
files whatever that is located in SBS side or Local Side. (i think that is
the security problem.)

Can this problem be fixed by me promoting the win2000 server as a backup
domain?
After promoting, what will happen when the internet connection drop again?
Will it need huge the internet traffic for maintain the security at the both
side servers?

Thanks for help.....

Rather than make it part of the same forest due to your situation you may
want to have 2 seperate forests, a hardware VPN and utilize PTA to access
resources.
