That is no longer and intranet, since you will probably be connecting the
three via the internet, unless you plan on leasing a dedicated line between
them.
As soon as you are on the internet, the danger increases bya very very
large factor.
a) Put each site behind a firewall. Note I assume that the three sites each
have more than one computer. Since those computers probably now already go
onto the iternet, they should already be behind a firewall.
b) "a" domain? YOu have three wildly different sites, going through
different service providers.
c) You are not very clear as to what it is that you are trying to
accomplish. That has to be clear first.
