New Web Server in SBS2003 Domain

Good Afternoon,

I hope everyone is doing GREAT this Monday morning! We're planning on
putting a Win2003 Web Server into our SBS2003 domain. It will be treated as
a member server. Currently our SBS2003 server is set up as a 2 NIC
configuration: (1) LAN 3-com hub. (2) Internet connection connected to a
SOHO Firewall

In order for users to connect to the internet, they must access the server.
I've been using ISA as an added layer of protection for net users.

Since we are setting up a web server, I no longer want this 2 NIC
configuration. Primarily because I think the bandwith may be too taxing on
our SBS 2003 server having all the net requests go through the server.
Since we have a hardware firewall I'd like to connect that into one of the
open ports on our 3Com hub.
Each user is running Windows XP so I can turn on the windows firewall for
those users for an added layer of protection.
So this is how the network will look

Internet ---->SOHO firewall---->3Com Hub
|
All network users including servers are
connected to the 3Com Hub.

I know I must go back into IC Wizard and change the broadband connection
configuration. Does this like a good idea to switch from 2 NIC config to
one, bypassing the SBS2003 server & ISA?
Also how will this effect terminal services, mobile devices (direct push),
and the web server?
Thanks for the help!

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
In God We Trust!
