There is a Virtual Private Networks Document at the Check Point Web site

This was of great help to me in planning the security for our intranet =
site which is still under development.

One approach is some form of IP tunneling. Basically, this means that
two routers connected to the internet package the traffic to flow =
between
two intranets inside packets which can be routed between the intranets
via the internet. I can't recall the vendor, but there was a vendor
at trade shows I've been at over the past couple years which offered
routers to do this which included encryption. Sorry I can't be more
specific, but perhaps this will help you ask the right questions or
generate another response from the list
