For a server, you can either set the firewall type to 'none' (if you've got an external firewall already), or simply don't set the internal interface information and use the standard hooks to allow particular services in (ie EXTERN_TCP_PORTS and the like). See my HDD-HOWTO for details on setting up to run from/with a hard-disk (or even RAID arrays!), which is handy when you start loading lots of packages for server functions. I'm currently runing bind and thttpd (my local DNS and web services) on LEAF/LRP based systems.
