Santiago, Having come from the DoD where "secure network" means "no connection to the public internet", I struggle with allowing access to the internet with those machines. As was pointed out in a prior post, it has a lot to do with the "level of security/paranoia" you are aiming for. I would personally steer clear of solutions that allow the two to commingle but there is one added option that I have not seen yet. If you add a thin client for each person (approx $200) with only the minimal systems required to access the internet, and a 2 port KVM, you may be able to bring this down to a reasonable price. (There is also a server that manages the Terminal Sessions with the thin clients needed). This keeps the systems independent, keeps one desktop set (monitor, mouse & keyboard) and if properly planned, could be your least expensive/most secure/lowest maintenance options (I particularly favor low maintenance).
