LAN to LAN bridge for domain auth. with separate WANs for internet

We have 4 offices, and a Windows domain. Up until now, we have used Soft Ether server at main office where domain controller is, and Soft Ether Client on each computer at remote offices. Remote offices are less than 10 users.

We want to change where no client software on remote office computers, just LAN to LAN, from office to office, so at logon, they will authenticate with domain controller, and get group policies. Also want each individual offices use their own ISP for their internet. I have tried with Cascade connection, and works great, but all using Main office internet.

What is recommended setup for this configuration?

This question has been asked hundreds of times. To use local router for Internet, remove default gateway from the routing table. On Windows client, this can be achieved by increasing metric of the virtual network adapter. You may need to add manual routes if the offices need access to other offices (subnets).
