Okay, let me rephrase the question then.

Let's say that my DSL router/firewall supports IPSec passthough but it's not a VPN endpoint.

Let's say that I have a VPN endpoint (whether it's a dedicated box, or VPN server software running on a PC) inside that firewall. Let's say its internal address is 192.168.0.39.

My question is: In that configuration, does the router's magical "IPSec passthrough" feature also handle forwarding external VPN traffic to that 192.168.0.39 address? Or must the VPN endpoint have a publicly-visible IP address before it can work?

In other words, am I overthinking this and all I REALLY need to do is activate the RRAS feature in windows 2003 and I'm done?
