It's in no way a secure model, but I liked my first setup, where I had a 
single IP address and a Linux box with 2 network cards. I ran all of my 
services on the box directly with iptables running, and NATed the rest of my 
lan over the second card.

Easy, less hassle with NAT, and everything worked.

Admittedly, this was in kindler, gentler times.
