It is supposed to look like this:
<Internet>
|
[NAT-Firewall]
|
[Switch or Hub]
/ | \
(gobs of machine plugged
into the switch here)
Many of the NAT-Firewalls have 4 or so ports in addition to the WAN port.
These are just the same thing as Switch ports,...it is just simply a small
switch built into the same device,...but logically, in terms of network
design you have to look at it as if it was in a separate physical device.
If you want to use an RRAS box for VPN Server,..then it will run with two
Nics and will physcially *replace* the NAT-Firewall with itself. The NAT
Firewall will just collect dust on a shelf. In some situations they can be
run side-by-side and in some situations they can be run back-to-back, and in
some situations the RRAS box can do VPN with only one Nic,...but to me that
is just an extra nusiance to have to babysit.

Now with the above in mind what exactly are you wanting to do? I'm not sure
right now what details to ask for so you'll just have to think about it and
give me the important details and not bury me with details I don't
need,...and see what we can come up with.
