    Yes, this would work.
    
    But does your switch do logging and alerting when your web
    server tries to hack your mail server?
    
    It'd be damn nice to see evidence of when you're web server
    has been hacked so you know when to go reformat and reinstall
    it :-) (And, hopefully, see what the hell went wrong and secure it)
