I have 2 Windows 2003 servers at seperate data centers.  Each server has 2
NICs; 1 connecting it to the public network (and internet) and the other
connecting it to the private network at that data center.  One of these
servers is a MS SQL Database server while the other is a web server.  I
would like to setup a VPN tunnel between the two servers that would allow
for the data to be securely sent between the database server and the web
server.  I would, of course, need for the web server to retain public
connectivity while the tunnel is in place.  What is the best method to
accomplish this?

Thank You,
Jason Williard

Either a site to site VPN, or use an IPSec policy to secure all traffic
between the two servers.
