2IPs, 2Routers, 1 Fiber Connection

by nerdbox . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

Hello,
I need to setup a second IP for my fiber connection as one of my servers will be hogging port 443 and I need to setup an ssl-vpn also onto the fiber connection.

I’ve been reading that the easiest way to get this setup to work is to plug the fiber connection into a switch and then plug two routers into the switch.

What are the security concerns involved in this process?

If this is a viable process, how do I make this type of connection the most efficient, speedy and secure?

Is there hardware you recommend?

Anything else I should be aware of, like a completely different better way (ie. one router)?
