One approach is some form of IP tunneling.  Basically, this means that
two routers connected to the internet package the traffic to flow between
two intranets inside packets which can be routed between the intranets
via the internet. I can't recall the vendor, but there was a vendor
at trade shows I've been at over the past couple years which offered
routers to do this which included encryption. Sorry I can't be more
specific, but perhaps this will help you ask the right questions or
generate another response from the list
