External NIC

I have the recommend set up on my SBS 2003 SP1 Premium Server. Two NIC's one
Internal the other External.

Right now the my network connects to a main switch, this switch then
connects to a switch that my servers are connected to in a different area.
My broadband router connects to the switch my servers are on.

Is better to leave the router connected to the switch, or have the router go
directly to the External NIC?
