Stuart,
Only the traffic for the remote lan defined in the vpn config gets sent
over the tunnel, everything else goes out via the local internet
connection, and yes it will handle natting between the sites and the
internet, just make sure the subnet at each end is different, like
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
These devices work well with dynamic dns services too, so no need to get
static IPs.
Easier solution would be a 2800 at your parents house then set that up
to allow you to client vpn into it from your house, this works fine
using the inbuilt microsoft client and will save you the expense of one
of the 2800s. Go to draytek.co.uk, there's good how tos there and also a
forum you can join to get additional advice.
