well... i m no expert on network security and i can only go by what i have
come across in my readings ...
my understanding is that a more secure setup is probably
--------
Internet
--------
/
/
-------
ADSL
-------
/
/
---------
Web svr
---------
/
/
---------
Firewall
---------
/
/
--------------
My Network
--------------
as i do not have a publicly accessed web svr myself .. i am simply guessing at
the above topology ... and i m happy to be corrected by those more familiar
with such matters :)
i have seen previously from one of the other postings where a firewall was
installed between the ADSL and Web Svr as well
