A router, a firewall, and 2 PVCs

Hi all, Given the following less than ideal situation: 1-router 1-Firewall-1 1-Frame Relay connection 2-PVCs one PVC connects to my ISP, the other PVC connects to a branch site. The branch is using private IP addresses. Traffic comes to the router and then to my Firewall-1 box. Currently the branch site is defined as being external to the firewall. We would like to define them as being internal to the firewall and provide them Internet access. I think PVCs are isolated from each other assuming no hack at the Frame providers site. Assuming we are stuck with the one Frame Relay connection: Is this totally wrong? Are the two PVCs sufficiently separate that I can consider traffic on one to be internal and traffic on the other to be external? It seems that if the one router is configured correctly this should work. I realize we have one point of attack and/or failure at the router but at this point I am short on options. Thanks for any and all help. Reading this list is incredibly useful. Dave Olsen
