router linux question

Hi,
I have 3 computers: Winxp, Linux9.0, Win2000
I am using DSL from Qwest and I would like to use Linux as a webserver.

Case 1
DSL Modem
  |
  |
Linux9.0 (eth0, eth1)- Router
  |
  |
Switch
  |    \
 winxp  Win2000


Case 2
     DSL Modem
        |
        |
Router(LinkSys, or Dlink)
  |          |         |
  |          |         |
Linux       WinXp     Win2000
Server9.0


I have 2 questions:
1) case 1 : should I build the Linux as the router? ( I see a lot of people have problem with this)
2) case 2 : Can I buy the router still host web, ftp? and using Winxp the same time?

Please help

Hi,

If you like both answer, then consider splitting the points between the two of us. See, some of us are "hungry" for points....
