Two nics or firewall appliance if a dynamic ip address?

Hi all,
I'm a relative SBS newbie (a lot of book learnin' but not a lot of
real-world..) and have come into an SBS 2003 Standard with:
* one nic
* only NAT on the router as a "firewall"
* users (5) using pop
* a dsl service that includes a *dynamic* ip address (could move up to
static for $40 more per month - ouch)
I want to give them a real firewall solution and set the users up with
Exchange.
To get around the dynamic ip address I plan to use the DNS2Go Dynamic
DNS service.
I read the great posts here on switching from pop to Exchange which I'm
going to follow.
I was considering adding a nic and setting this box up the "SBS way"
with the included firewall. But would the two nic solution work with
the DNS2Go Dynamic DNS service?
Or should I just use a hardware firewall like a SonicWALL instead of
the two nic solution in this case?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Ray
