As you run the expense of NT Server, you should consider Winroute Pro as it is much more configurable. You need to treat each network card separately with no filtering on the LAN nic and concentrate on the net nic. Both nics on the server should have static ip's with the best option being to map the pptp port to the LAN nic, vpn into your network and then initiate a session to whom ever on the LAN. Using VNC through a tunnel may effect performance but this can be offset by a good distribution and a fat connection at both ends.
When configuring winroute, you should place as much if not more emphasis on blocking outgoing packets through your net nic as a Trojan on one of your workstations can easily initiate an outgoing connection which would bypass your filtering. Give it a shot and post a reply.
