[pptp-server] NT PPTP NB Questions

Greetings,

I'm a newbee to PPTP and am planning to configure an NT PPTP Server to host
a VPN for our office.  The outside Clients will be Windoze 98.

I have the MS whitepaper and the book Creating and Implementing VPNs.  I am
planning to set up a Windows NT Server Gateway machine networked to our
Windows NT File Server.  The Gateway Machine will have Two Nics.  One
attached to aDSL modem and one attached to LAN. Newbee questions:
1.  Should the Gateway PPTP machine be configured as stand alone with trusts
or as a BDC ?
2.   With this configuration do I have to change the default entry of
0.0.0.0 in the routing table of the LAN side NIC, both nics or neither nic
on the Gateway Machine ?   Also what about the registry hack
"DontAddDefaultGateway" ?  Is it necessary ?
3.  Any additional "hints" which are not documented in the MS White Paper ?

TIA

Alan,
