I run a SOHO LAN with ADSL, 4 static IP's, and a few Internet services.
I avoid running key Internet-facing services locally -- my WAN bandwidth
is too precious and the services are too important. I prefer service
provider DNS and mail, and VPS WWW.
+1 for using a dedicated device/ FOSS distribution for your WAN/LAN
gateway. I use IPCop.
+1 for using Samba for the LAN file server -- I want interoperability:
Linux, *BSD, Windows, Mac, and others.
VPN's are appealing, but consider the consequences of a VPN machine
compromise. Securing the rest of the VPN against that risk is
non-trivial, and involves other people's computers and networks. I
turned it off.
