So, you need the following - more of a start config:

Main office can access all remote offices
Remote offices can access all of main office
Remote offices can not access other remote offices

This is common with a VPN Setup, and most hardware firewall appliances
that support the branch office structure support this.

I do not know if the SOHO3 supports your need.
