Apologies first - Posting here as a regular reader and know the good
tempers of the people involved in the project.

My sister handled lots of "fun" hosting at her house for many years.  We
lost her to colon cancer last month and her instructions to me were to
keep things going.  This may be a little more than I can handle on my own.

We have disconnected her sites from her home and I now have them running
from my home (Dual ISP coming in from AT&T and Comcast).  Both are
business grade accounts with static IP's.

I would like to get the whole setup secure, keeping in mind that I still
have 2 additional wireless routers for my house and a printer I have to
get hooked up over tcp

The hardware I have to accomplish this task is as follows:
PIX 515e - latest release for the 515 (no asdm) 5 ports
Cisco 2950 / 24 port switch with 2 gig ports on the end.
4 1U servers of various makes (IBM / Dell)
1 2U server (IBM)
3 other apple machines that made up her FTP site (private / oldschool)

I have 2 of the 1U's doing most of her hosting work prior to her passing. 
I hope to put these into the rack to avoid at least a little of the noise
or my wife and kids will eventually kill me.

I also want to continue to have my two AP's here, I put the kids on the
slower one, and we use the comcast line for a little more speed.  I would
also like to have the PIX do failover in the event comcast or att go down,
rollover will kick in (Dual WANS).

I am also on the hunt for solbourne hardware but thats kind of a sad story
but must be fixed.  all in all there are about 9 machines in the enclosed
PBX rack.  I did the recovery of the passwords on the 2950/24 and the pix.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this going in my home.

in the end I would like to get a VPN tunnel into my network and protect
the other 9 machines.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Danny
