Hi, 
I am a partner in a web services company and we have decided to launch a
server and offer hosting services to our clients. I have taken on the
responsibility of network administrator and I would like some opinions and
advice on a network configuration that I have devised. A diagram of my idea
is at http://www.skylake.com/network.htm 
Mainly- Will this particular setup work? Is there a better approach? 
Also, I am having trouble understanding the implications and consequences
of the different NT licensing modes and I would like to find out what would
be the most economical way to go. The NT server disk that I purchased came
with zero licenses and there will be 2 staff members accessing the server
(counting me),so how many licenses do I need? We will be hosting Virtual
Servers, do we need additional licenses for people that connect to our
server via the Internet? I purchased a 16 user license version of BSDI 2.3.

Thanks in advance for any light shed upon this matter,
