Hi Kenneth,Sounds like overkill, a lot of work setting up 2 new Endian boxes and VPN the 3 together for a simple web based service.
I believe it would be best (if possible) to get a static IP address at the main office, set up the server as a web server for the Internet, set up and require SSL connection if the connection is from an external IP (done in the PHP code with the variable $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']), and require a username and password if connection is external IP (can be a generic one if you want, but your security is only as good as your passwords). Won't affect internal use at the main office. Would work better, more reliable and just as secure as a VPN.. I would prefer to spend the time setting it up like this then to go to all the other hassle. And you don't need any new hardware saving $$$.
If you find you need to share other network resources, ie printer, shared folders etc then I would agree with VPN, however if it is purely web based that's all you need.
Let me know however if I've misunderstood your requirements. Sam.
