Is there any known problems with these types of setups? Perhaps lack of communication between soho router that does nat/dhcp and checkpoint system? if this setup works I will implement VPN for a few people.
I don't think you will have any issues with the configuration. Remember that you will have to add a static route(s) for your internal network(s) on your NetGear.

I'm pretty sure that you can setup Check Point to get a DHCP address from your ISP. I've never done it, so I would have to research it, but I'm pretty sure it is possible. If that is the case, you really don't even need the NetGear. The Check Point Firewall could get the DHCP address from your ISP and also control the NAT.
