Hello list,

I am attempting to setup a VPN connection between two different school 
campuses. Here's a simple diagram of what I want to accomplish:

10.0.0.0/8 (School Campus LAN)
  |
Main Endian Firewall
  |
{The Inernet}
  |
Offsite Endian Firewall
  |
192.168.33.0/24 (Remote Classroom LAN)

Now, I'm new at this. Some of these questions might seem basic:

1. Do I want the remote site to connect to the main, or the main to connect to 
the remote? Does it make a difference?

2. I think I have the remote connecting, but I can't ping anything on the 
remote LAN from the school campus. My guess is Routing isn't happening, or the 
remote Endian's firewall is blocking traffic.

3. I currently have static WAN IPs for both the main campus and for the remote 
classroom. Could I use a DHCP address on the remote classroom if needed?

4. Which Authentication method is recommended? Is it common practice to use a 
PSK for Gw2Gw VPNs? Should I setup a user dedicated for the connecting remote 
classroom? I suppose I would need an additional one for another remote site?

5. I can see the server connected via the list of connected users, and I see 
that the connection was given an IP from within the speciffied VPN pool of IPs. 
In this case, It has the IP address of 10.199.0.2... Is that correct for a 
Gw2Gw vpn?

Thanks for any and all help.
