Protecting Multiple Public IP Workstations

[MATT GIBSON <mattgibson () shaw ca>]

Hey Everyone :)

We've got a client who (for various reasons) has a network (that's currently p2p), and all the workstations (6) have 
public IP addresses.  It's a windows network (mixed 98 and 2000), and we're putting in a new server (win2k) Just 
wondering how to best protect this network? 

My two thoughts are:

1) To use firewalls at the client level (don't like this idea)
2) To use RRAS on the server, and have the server route all the public IP's through it first, and then run some sort of 
firewall on the server.

Any suggestions?
