Default route and static persistent route

I have a Dell PowerEdge server with SBS 2003 hosting Microsoft Exchange 2003 for one of my clients.

There are 2 NIC's in this server, one with a Public Facing IP, which also has the default gateway; one with a private IP (192.168.219.250) with no gateway defined.

This server plugs into a managed Cisco switch with its own IP address, then there is a SecureWorks bridge device in place that monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic to the network, followed by a Sonicwall TZ190 router which tunnels via VPN to a branch office that has an IP range of 192.168.220.0/24.

With no gateway on the private IP side, I can ping the sonicwall and all IP's on the local network from the server, and all PC's on the network can ping the server. But, the sonicwall cannot ping the server, which also means my VPN clients cannot ping the server.

If I disable the public interface and give the server the default gateway of the sonicwall, the sonicwall can ping the server, and remote office clients can ping the server.

So what route do I need to add to be able to keep the public gateway as the default gateway but maintain connectivity to my outside office and soft VPN clients?

I have tried "route add 192.168.219.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.219.99" but it doesn't work. I'm at the end of my rope and the CEO is pissed because he can't access Exchange over VPN and the remote office can't access it without using Outlook Anywhere/HTTP over RPC.

Please help!

 

Here is my route table:
