I understand what you are saying. However, I should mention that my cable router already serves are NAT/Firewall server.
I only need to LTSP server to service LTSP clients and give them access to the Internet for mail and web browsing. So in reality I only need my LTSP server to provide NAT - not firewall - services for the LTSP clients.

It is much easier to only connect 1 computer to the router to act as

That way the Internet and your LAN can only see the firewall which is
much more secure. All you need to do is invest in a crappy old
computer to act as the Firewall (can be literally almost anything) and
a $100 switch (8 port 100 base-t).
