I need someone to install a FreeBSD box in the Mountain View area near
San Francisco. The job would entail purchasing a server, selecting a
provider and installing it in the office and assisting in establishing a
vpn with an office in the UK.

The rough requirements are:

Hardware for:
Firewall
File server
Backup
Network switch and cabling (possibly)

External services:
DNS (secondary)
IMAP/POP mail server (SSL connection)
LDAP server (SSL connection)
SMTP server (secondary)
WWW (external)
FTP
SSH
VPN (SSL connection) between UK and US sites

Internal services:
DNS (secondary)
NIS/YP
DHCP
SAMBA
SSH
WWW (internal)

Notes:
Client machines will be desk or portable PC's running NT or 2000.
Configuration to allow support remotely from UK office.
Master internal and external DNS, YP etc in UK office.

We will do most of the configuration ourselves but we'll need someone
onsite in the US while we setup the firewall and VPN.

The client isn't fussy about the network connection but they need more
than dial-up over a modem so at least ISDN and preferably something like
ADSL but they'll go for a leased line if that's the only option. They
don't need to be permanently connected so always-on isn't critical but
it would be preferable otherwise remote administration is going to be
more tricky. I know nothing about the area so I don't know what's
available.

The hardware doesn't need to be high performance but it needs to be
resilient so mirrored disks and redundant PSU and a quality motherboard.

The solution is pretty open-ended so I'm interested in any ideas that
will do the job, what I need at the end of the day is a way to connect
the US and UK offices over a VPN as cheaply as possible but cost is
secondary to reliability/security.

I need a quote ASAP, preferably in the next 24-48 hours. If you can't
send me a complete quote in that time then at least contact me to say
you're interested.
