I'm not a security or networking expert, so I'm interested to know the pros/cons of running my firewall on the HN and essentially, making my HN into my router or running the firewall on a VE and making my HN simply a hardware conduit.
Ultimately, I want to get rid of my hardware router, and move it all onto my OpenVZ machine, and behind it, I want to run multiple VE's for mail, web, etc. I believe that in the end, it might help to speed things up around my network (just a belief!)
I'm thinking that the preferred method might be to run my firewall on my HN, along with DNS, DHCP and OpenVPN services.
