BTW, some of us don't like trying to combine so many tasks onto one
machine.  For myself personally, trying to do so is a recipe for
screwing all services up at once repeatedly.  I'm much safer when I
follow the one service/one box rule.  And of course, following that
would mean that while you use one SS20 for those tasks, I would need 4
machines for what you list.  Despite what some people say is proper, for 
a small network I would most likely combine the firewall and internet
router into one machine, instead of having a proper set up of
router->firewall->nat, then from the nat T off to the internal router
and to the DMZ machine.  So, I would go router/nat/firewall -> internal
router (for routing between my internal subnets).
