Isolate server on LAN but still give internet access

I am working on a migration project from SBS 2003 to 2011 for a client out of state.
At this point, I need to be able to set up the migrated server with internet access without allowing it to touch the LAN or other machines using the clients existing WAN connection.

Any thoughts? The new server MUST be isolated from the LAN or it will be a bad day for everyone! Thanks.

Second the VLAN suggestion.  Broadcast and UDP traffic will be constrained to the VLAN and will not cause SBS to panic. If your network gear isnt VLAN capable, you can just setup a second router and switch to accommodate the new server.

Yea, the VLAN was the way I wanted to go... unfortunately they lack the hardware...
I was considering using a separate router, but I am not positive that this will isolate the box to my satisfaction. I think I'll give the subnet mask a try (now why didn't I think of that).
Be back in a few! Thanks all.
