[c-nsp] Network Configuration Help

[Victor Matherly]

	I have a client who moving his network from his office space to a 
collocation. I am tying to plan a more efficient network to fit his needs. He 
runs a large number of different services such as Specialized web servers, 
email, MySQL, DNS. 

	His current network setup has 4 private Subnets each behind a sperate router 
using its own public IP. He needs to consolidate the hardware, while keeping 
the same network config. 

	My initial thought would be to use a PIX 525 with 8 FE interfaces.I would  
partition it into 4 virtual devices using Multiple Context Mode. Each virtual 
device would have a  public outside interface and one of his private subnets 
behind NAT. I don't have a lot of experience using a pix firewall so I am not 
sure whether this is the appropriate way to do this.

What would be the best way to go about this setup? Is there a better way to 
achieve this?
