You have a Central Office and 5 branch locations. Each branch has 3-5 computers. All computers at the central and branch offices need to be on the same domain. Each branch needs internet access comparable to t1.
What is the most efficient way to connect these offices?
Would you want a DC at each location, for only 5 machines?
Each location have their own t1 with site-site vpn connections?
Do a site-site t1 connection and have them all connect back to the central office and use a single gateway to the internet?(i realize this would compact all internet traffic into a single 1.5mb line, but i'm skeptical of the traffic at this point)
I remember reading a scenario sort of like this, and someone criticizing the use of t1 vs another connection, but for the life of me can't recall it.
any suggestions?
