static IP options

[Marvin Bellamy]

Thanks for all the input guys.  I think I'm going to sign up for my 
first domain name tonight.  I have another question about my 
architecture.  Mind you, this is partially a learning project and may be 
the foundation for a very small-scale game server in the future (small 
budget).  Assuming I have one firewall, a separate web server, and two 
desktop machines,  how should I best map my network?
