Looking to setup a scaled down development setup at home. 2-4 servers maximum.

I'm not a networking god. I think what I'd do is add some sort of routing device such as a low-end sonicwall have its wan ports to the internal network. I'd then assign devices behind that a different subnet so I'd VPN in and address the servers.

Is that a typical networking setup? Is there an ez way to redirect my DNS entries to go to the dev sonicwall and servers instead of the live ones?
