SBS2K and VOIP in 2 warehouses

I have an expansion of an installation that I did a
couple years ago. The current network consists of SBS2K
server and 6 Win2kpro workstations and 2 network
printers. We want to expand this to a new office 1/2
mile away. We will be using a wireless connection
between the buildings installed by the phone vendor. The
phone vendor says that we will have about 50 meg of
through put between the bldgs. The new bldg will have 4
XPPro workstations accessing the SQL database on the
SBS2K server with 1 network printer. The phone system is
VOIP between the bldgs. The phone vendor needs 4 static
ip address from the server. We will also have 5 network
ip security cameras in the new office. All of the
computers have gigabit nics and the 16 port switches at
each office are gigabit switches. Should I install
another member server in the new warehouse to connect the
4 workstations? I have dynamic dsl lines at each office
(for fall back connection between the offices, could not
get static) How should I connect the DSL to the server
and workstations at both warehouses. Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated. BTW if needed the
Server is dual P4Xeon cpu MB with 2 gig ram and Raid5 SCSI

You mean another DC? Yea you could, but you don't have to. 50mbps is plenty
fast for the 4 machines.

Use a DSL applicance at each side of the DSL that is VPN capable. Use these
to setup a "Site-toSite" (aka Router-to-Router, aka Office-to-Office) VPN.
Do not confuse this type of VPN with a "Remote Access VPN", it is not the
same thing and would not serve the same purpose.

Fail-over routing would *not* likely be the product of the DSL appliances or
the Wireless setup. This would have to be done within the LAN Routers on
each end that would treat the two different links as "redundant routes" and
would handle dynamically switching the route if one failed. If you don't
have LAN Routers in this role, you should consider doing so. The Wireless
system, the DSL System, and the Routing System should be three *separate &
distinct* entities. If you have to buy Routers be sure to verify what they
are capable of before you shell out any $$$.

Having the Vendors of the Wireless and DSL systems involved in sorting that
out would be a big plus since they probably get asked about that stuff all
the time, probably already have "plans" developed for doing that,...and
whatever you do needs to work hand in hand with their equipment.
