Build yourself a Linux router.
Freesco is a nice one that only requires a low-spec PC (early Pentium will do) and a floppy drive (no hard disc required), plus a couple of network cards (they can both be 100Mbps if you like).
I'm surprised that most commercial "cheap" (aka "DSL/Cable") routers don't have 100Mbps uplinks. I've not checked myself but I can't see any reason to limit it to 10Mbps (even for price reasons). Tried looking at router/switch combos as switches are more likely to have 100Mbps uplinks I would have thought?
P.S. Why a gateway on the network, why not one router serving the whole network inc the public server, especially if they're all NATed?
