Design an infrastructure solution for hosting multiple independent severs via one leased line.
Current infrastructure.
Data Server
DNS/DHCP Active Directory Server
Exchange Server
SQL Server
Web Server
Terminal Server
10Mbit LES through a Cisco 1841 (10Mbit LES to burst to new requirement).
SonicWall 4060
6x SonicWalls TZ190 at remote sites via VPN.
What is the best solution to host multiple (forecasting 10 servers) web servers with independent domains through a single leased line? We would like a solution where each client had their own web server so we could make amendments to that server and not affect the hosting of other clients. We would prefer not to use VMware however create as much fail over as possible.
Many thanks.

I'm confused as to what your current infrastructure has to do with hosting 10 web servers.
Are you planning to host these servers at your site?
If so, I would strongly recommend a completely independent network (carved up into VLANs) with separate internet access.

We have infinite public IP addresses available.

Explaining our current infrastructure was to aid understanding where we are and to discover what hardware we will require, secondly to query if we can utilise our SonicWall 4060 and Cisco 1841. We would like all of our traffic and hosting via a single LES if possible.
Yes the addional 10 web servers will be from our site.
If you've got a few public addresses spare then, VLAN's and NAT all the way, job done.

I'll add further points to this query.
Can you guys advise what hardware we should be looking at? If hosting the web servers internally will inhibit our network performance despite bursting our internet bandwidth to meet the new requirements then should we progress with your initial suggestion and keep the new servers and line completely independent?
We currently have a 10Mbit LES leased line.

- Separate vlans for each customer
- Implement Rate limiting on firewall uplink network swtich port
If you've only got one IP public IP address, you'll only be able to configure PAT, ergo, you wont be able to host multiple instances of any particular service without changing the ports they're running on which may well be a problem. You could perhaps get around this using a reverse proxy or some clever rewrite rules. You're screwed if you want ssl though.
