That's a good idea. Would a "good" configuration be behind a firewall anyway? I'm wondering how hosting companies do this.

Even though your firewall is probably configured correctly it can slow down a single T1 greatly. Instead of a firewall you can just lock down the ports on the machine and multihone it if it needs domain access.
