Sorry...but forgot to add that LAN A will use its own Internet
connection and only certain servers will use the Internet connect which
is on LAN B.
Also the MPLS is to other sites therefore is it not possible to plug in
the MPLS router directly onto the network rather than going through the
PIX?

You can plug them directly to the network, but then you'd have to configure
every host on your network with bunch of static routes pointing to remote
sites via that MPLS router or run RIP/OSPF on each host. These things are
usually something to avoid. Think of the MPLS connection like you would have
a remote site connected via single third-party router (which you obviously
don't manage!), the routing issue is just the same.


One of the remote sites thats going to be connected into the MPLS is
going to have an Internet connect aswell and tha plan is to run BGP
between the LAN A Internet connection and the connection at the remote
site.

If you will get L3VPN (as opposed to L2VPN) , that won't work
out-of-the-box. Even if you establish BGP between your routers, there will
be still MPLS provider routers, they also need to have this routing
information. In MPLS environment you usually run routing not between sites,
but between customer and provider edge routers. It's therefore essential
that you speak to your MPLS provider to agree how the routing will be done.

Kind regards,
