Airport Extreme Question

[space-time]

I have an Airport extreme that I am abot to set up, but before I open the box, I still have some questions (it was in impulse buy, but I wanted one for a long time anyway).

does it support VPN, DynDNS (or another dymamic service), does it allow me to see the USB drive from work (I assume I have to use VPN to get in).

Also, is it easy to customize, can I set up port forwarding and NAT and other stuff like that?

right now I have a weird network setup

Cable Modem -> Voip_1 -> Router (Wifi) > Voip_2

and of course, some WiFi devices. I have both VOIP_1 and Router with DHCP enabled (a big NO NO as far as I understand) and despite that, I can still get iChat video connections working properly, but screen sharing only works when I connect the MacBook directly to the cable modem.

I hope with the Apple Extreme Router I would be able to connect something like this:

Cable Modem > Apple Airport Extreme > VOIP_1

                                    > VOIP_2

                                    > VOIP_3 (ooma, Don't ask why 3 VOIP phones!)

                                    > ROKU

                                    > BluRay Player

etc

eventually I will disconnect VOIP_2 after I port the number to OOMA, but then I may get a VOIP_4 to replace my verizon landline (again, don't ask why I have so many VOIP phones)

oh, one more question: I have a 1 TB USB drive that I will hook up, and I need to format it. I would really like to "zero" it since I had it partitioned in several ways and sometimes I got errors, just to make sure the drive is OK. If I do that with my PowerBook, it's gonna take forever, so I wonder if I can ask the Apple Airport Router to do a low level format and let it run for a day or 2 until it's done

Thanks again

You can zero the drive, but you can't do a low-level format.

And the router doesn't zero the drive. Connect it to a computer. It'll take awhile; not much you can do to speed it up.

how do I do a low level format? Windows?
