DSL Routers & Servers

[drew at drewtaylor.com (Drew Taylor)]

Thanks for your response Patrick. I guess the heart of my question is if I 
add the 2nd public IP to eth1, will the router block responses to that IP 
address since it sits on a different IP? Or does it bypass the router 
entirely? If so, that's not what I want since I will want the firewall in 
front as I'm not a security expert and don't trust myself to keep 
everything up to date.
