Chris,
You might want to think about running a sacrificial host outside of
your firewall if you are worried about corrupting your internal net.
The whole question comes down to how safe you think your HTTP server
is going to be and whether or not you think the security risk is
worth the trouble of installing the seperate host outside of your
Gauntlet.
Hope this helps just a little,
