I think we may need a little more clarification on what is wanted.  

It seems to me that what is being asked is:
* I have three sets of things:  a firewall, a server, and a bunch of
clients.
* both the server and the clients are behind the firewall
* how do I set up the firewall to permit access to the server and still
protect the clients?

So far the answers seem to be addressing a different question that could
be stated like:
* How do I configure a machine to be a server and a firewall? 

Not the same thing

For instance, for servers you need to permit incoming port 80, for
clients generally not...

It would appear that the firewall rules need to be aware of the
destination IP address as well as the ports
