I'm doing what you are asking on a DSL connection, for 3 domains, on a
AMD K6-2 450 and 384M of RAM.  I also have a firewall to keep people
from seeing my internal network. If you are using either a hardware or
software firewall it should provide port forwarding so you can split up
your services to other machines if you need to.  

Bet you would outgrow your cable bandwith before you would peg the
machine, unless you have a lot of database driven apps running.

Peace.
