Ahh - ok - to clarify - it's a Linksys WAG325N ADSL Modem / Router.

So it currently goes:
  • ISP IP 62.x.x.x to internet connection on WAG325N
  • WAG325N is the DHCP Server for client PCs.
  • WAG325N connects to 1Gb switch where other PC's are connected.
So my theroy was to place it as so:

<Internet> <WAG325N> <Firewall> <Switch>

Yes the firewall has DHCP capability for trusted LAN.
