I have a client with an HP media server sitting behind a RED. Is it possible to get the server web accessible while maintaining vpn routing to the other devices?
It's still not clear what you have or what you want to do. I think that once you have a clear definition, the solution will be obvious to you. What is the Time Warner router? Is the mediaserver intended to provide access to anyone/anything outside the home, or only inside? What WAP is to be used? Should all of the PCs in the president's home have access to the RED tunnel?

This description (sent after my initial response) makes a bit more sense.:
We were looking to hopefully drop a switch in and connection the WAP and all client machines except media server through the red and wedging the mediaserver to a port on the Time Warner router enabling port forwarding on the time warner router to pass http traffic hitting the home IP through to the server which is handing out a WHS access page.
To understand you correctly, you have a RED device hanging off a Time Warner Modem (Cable or ADSL?). You want to setup the network so that the Media Server is accessible from the web (via a public IP.). At the same time the RED needs to also provide VPN capabilities back to head office for this exec.
Correct?
Questions: Is this router from Time Warner just a modem (hands out public IP's and that's it) or is it one of these residential gateway devices that has the router, wireless(sometimes), and modem all rolled in one? Does the HP device have more then one network interface?
If I'm right about the first part, I have some ideas on how to tackle this, depending on the other two questions.
we have a time warner gateway, then the RED, then an Asus Router that distributes wireless and routes traffic. HP mediaserver sits behind the asus router. The HP media server acts as windows home server and feeds a page through. Im sorry but I do not have the resources to clarify further.
