Thanks for the reply. Would there be any performance hits in a situation
like this:

Internet
        |
      FW ---------- T1 ----------- Remote Office ---- My Workstation
        |                                               Other Servers
        Servers under my control

We have a private T1 into our corp. office that we use for replication and
remote access for maint., etc. Would there be any issues if an object that
is in the corp. office is set to internal (its actually protected by our FW
here.

Tim,

Your thinking is correct.  Anything being protected by your firewall is set
to internal and anything is being allowed/disallowed that is NOT part of
your network (that you are not managing), is set to external.
