You will have to set up port-mapping so if you run DIFFERENT servers that require DIFFERENT ports then you could just forward the ports to the IP addresses of the different servers. You can't run 2 web servers behind most routers that uses NAT for public->private addressing.

Also take a look at the SMC Barricade. It's 4 port router. And it has a built in print server, and let me tell you, that is a godsend.

I have an Edimax 4 port router and I have a dedicated CS server set up in the DMZ with my other 3 machines set up behind it and it works great. It has web based setup but you can also go in through the serial port.
