I was thinking of using windows 2003 as a point for a multihoming network. I would like to setup this server to act as a router/firewall, dns, and dhcp. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of anywhere good reference sites?

The thought of that just scares me because Windows machines are so targetted for hacks, security holes, etc. At the very least I would use a router just as nothing else but a firewall for safety's sake.
My server isn't multihomed, but does handle DHCP and DNS.
If this is for learning purposes then go for it. I have more often heard of using a linux box for that kind of task however. There are even distros made for just that purpose.
My 2 cents.I'm not a complete idiot... some parts are missing. -

I would say "Sure" for NT Server 4.0 w/ antivirus, but like LazyArt said "uh Oh"

I understand the risk, but like I said, its just for learning purposes. Any information you know I can find this, please let me know!
