I've played around with hosting servers from behind smoothwall & the safest 
option from a security point of view seems to be to add a network card for an 
orange interface. And then to open a DMZ pinhole or forward a port from 
smoothwalls external red interface to a server on the orange interface.  
Rather than risk running a server that can be seen by the outside world on 
your green LAN interface.  Then again I am quite paranoid about security - 
you could open a DMZ to a machine on your LAN if you were less paranoid than 
me ;~)

There are plenty of people on this list that will explain that a lot better & 
probably have better solutions.  The only extra hardware required is the 
network card for your orange interface.  It's covered in the smoothwall 
documentation.

Good luck
