Two VPN gateways on one Windows Server 2008?

hello, i'm thinking implementing following scenario: 2 vpn "gateways" (like "intranet.contoso.com" , "extranet.contoso.com"), users in active directory group allowed connect intranet vpn, users in group b allowed connect extranet vpn. clients in intranet should given broader access (more static routes internal networks) whereas clients in extranet allowed access one, specific network. 2 vpns should have different subnets, of course. i think isolation part done using firewall how start: how differentiate clients , assign them different addresses , static routes? it's simple if have 2 windows server 2008 boxes possible use 1 system? maybe network access protection be useful? have 1 vpn configured dhcp relay agent on internal interface in rras. dhcp assigning static routes. i'm looking forward suggestions , hints :) in advance, regards, wojciech thank detailed information. i'm afraid documentation linked not helpful in scenario
