simple p2p t1 with 1841 routers

I have two offices: Location 1 has all of our employees servers and equipmnent. All computers at location 1 have the following range of ip addresses (10.0.0.xxx). I have an 1841 router at location 1 with fe0 set to 10.0.0.11 and a T1 wic set to 10.1.1.1 using ppp. At location 2 I have another 1841 with a T1 wic set to 10.1.1.2 and fe0/0 set to 10.1.3.1. I have DHCP enabled at location 2 on the 1841 router. The only equipment at location 2 is going to be an Iomega NAS device and we are going to replicate data to it using Doubletake. The two locations are connected with a point to point T1 line. My question is whether or not the above settings are correct. In other words will the two sites be able to comunicate for this simple purpose?

Do I have to do anything with default routes?

We are using Doubletake, and the server folks say it cannot be used across subnets, both boxes need to be in the same broadcast domain. If that is true (I am no server expert and am taking their word for it)then your simple network will not work, unless you use bridging instead of routing. If you can use the configuration you describe you will need a static route on each side pointing to the other fe subnet.

Location 1

ip route 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2

Location 2

ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1

Or you could configure a dynamic routing protocol like eigrp on each side.

router eigrp 100

network 10.0.0.0
