If you are hosting the website, I might consider hosting other services
on the same systems - perhaps mail, or FTP, but there is no way I'd ever
consider running user activities like web surfing on a server - that's
just begging to be cracked. "Users" do not belong in the same _room_
as the servers, never mind allowing them to run user crap on a server.
Sure - what operating system? The routing table is going to get messy,
but it's done fairly often. In the case where these PCs are used to
_view_ remote pages, set the routing table such that the ISDN connection
only leads to the remote site where the special pages are hosted, and
all other traffic uses the ADSL. No special software is needed, and any
O/S can do this "out-of-box". If these system are _hosting_ the
special website, and you want your _users_ to also be able to use them
to surf (which I REALLY DON'T RECOMMEND), you need an advanced routing
daemon, to segregate the traffic. This would also be the case if you
were serving the special site AND serving some other site, or running
another server.
Doesn't make much sense - the only difference between the two connections
would be the IP address.
