Your going to have all kinds of headaches with VMware on a 2850.... Look into a 
2900 series at the least.

With VMware or any virtual platform you'll assign a nic on the host to a 
virtual switch. Then a vm to that switch. You'll have a vswitch for lan and a 
vswitch for wan. (Simplest configuration.

Your pfsense vm will have a vnic on each switch, then your www would be on the 
lan vswitch.

But first get better hardware you'll drink less.
