Yes, consider using an IPSec vpn connection.  Something that supports L2TP.
Do not use a PPTP vpn connection to connect sql servers.

Make sure you have a fast connection though.  What kind of speaking do they
have to do?

Subject: Remote SQl Server


Is it practical to run a webserver on one side of town/country and connect 
to a remote SQL Server on the other side of town?

We have a box that sends out mail and handles open rate tracking / bounce 
processing / unsubscribes etc. We need to host this mail/web server in a 
remote location (300 km away). Ideally, this box would be able to speak 
with an SQL server at our location here. Is this practical? What kind of 
network issues should I be concerned about?
