Hey, you said limited resources. I run all my servers (web, mail, DNS,
etc.) on the firewall. AFAIK its much easier to only allow public
access to the DSL NIC and only LAN access to the other, see

Someone suggested the need for multiple machines and a _lot_ of ram
but that only comes into play when you have a _lot_ of traffic,
domains, users, etc. I would think one box would be just fine for a
SOHO (I know my low traffic domain puts almost no load on my do
all box).
