Yes, but then you don't need to have it on the esxtermnal network at all.

I think the following is at least what you want:

Internal Net   ----   External Net   ----   I-Net
Macs                  File Server
File Servers          (with TCP wrappers)

What you (?) have now is probably this:

Macs                 Macs
File Servers         File Servers
                     Gateway Router

Even TCP wrappers won't help much you against attacks on your Macs.
