Indeed creating the connection profile with the correct "LAN Adrs" and
netmask for the other side will imply the necesary route to get to
the other side, but you might as well check it in the terminal server:
ESC [ ESC 0 (to get into the termserv)
sh ip rout
Watch for the route pointing to the other side. It should point to a
wan interface when the link is up, and to a wanidle interface when the
link is down.
I would expect a setup like yours to work just fine. It could even be
set so there is a backup route to the Internet through the other
location is the main link goes down (though sessions in progress
would not survive)
