VPN Choice

Hi There.  I want to set up a VPN for my customer.  The customer has an ASA 5505 and it is conncted to a Windows Server 2003 network.  Now I know that Windows 2003 can be used for a VPN and it appears that the ASA can also be setup to host a VPN.  If I want to setup the VPN using Windows Server, would I just then configure the ASA for port forwarding/port address translation and NOT use the VPN wizard on the ASA?

Assuming there is an option here, what are the advantages of using the ASA to host the VPN?

I suspect that  these are very basic questions but I'm inexperienced enough to want to double check my understanding.  

Thank you in advance for your responses and your patience.

Yes, you can forward the ports from the ASA to your server.

I would set the VPN up on whichever platform you think you can support best.
