Well, I'm biased, but -my- suggestion is that you answer my
earlier point-by-point layout of what I think you are trying to do,
because even after your clarification about the two offices we
don't understand.

If that's too much trouble to go through, then the biggest point
that we need to understand is:

  What factors in the situation make it important to not have
  to configure the firewall? Why not just configure the firewall -once-
  and leave it configured?

My point-by-point analysis is mostly probing around the edges of
those questions, postulating an elaborate series of conditions that
would -all- have to be true to make it worth taking the approach you
have been proposing. I suspect that very few of us are willing to
put a lot of energy into an analysis of how to make a connection
between your two offices that side-steps your (unnamed) firewalls
when it would be a matter of perhaps 10 minutes for you to
configure the firewall once and leave it that way.
