Cisco 3600 Series Router & Cable Modem

Hi !

I currently host a couple of website at home using dedicated custom built mail servers and web servers on my cable internet connection.

My Cable company only gives out Dynamic IP's.

I currently use a Netgear RP114 router with Port Forwarding which works great.

However, in a couple of months I will be upgrading to an ADSL modem then onto Leased Line equipment (Probably a T1/E1), I therefore want a router with expansion and of a high quality such as the Cisco 3600 series router(s).

What I simply want to know is, If I buy a 3620/3640 router w/ 2 Ethernet ports, can I plug one into the cable modem and one into my network ?? And then configure the router with NAT just as my current router. Would this be possible and/or difficult to do ? When I get ADSL I will get static IP's, is it possible to turn off NAT and still maintain the 2 network interface config as above ?

Thankyou for all the help !
