Router with separate LAN interfaces

Hi,

Please bear with me with a slight off-topic. I did not find an appropriate
ng which was adequately frequented.

We have three separate subnets in our premises and I need some internal
services available to all three subnets. Does it exist budget routers with
separate LAN interfaces where I can connect my server to its WAN port and
our three subnets to its LAN interfaces while keeping the three subnets
disconnected from each other. Something like having a computer with one WAN
NIC and three separate LAN NICs.

Most cheapo routers with multiple LAN ports have these interconnected as a
switch.

Thanks for hints and comments on this

They do make routers with multiple LAN interfaces, but the are not budget
conscience. You could use a server with multiple NIC's, but depending on
where your resources are, and the bandwidth they use you could bring a
Windows box to it's knees. Spend the money and get a real router. In the
long run it will save you time, money, and headaches.

What abouyt routers using VLAN to separate LAN ports like Draytek Vigor 2900
Is that a solution?

The router on a stick model is very limited in scalability. Remember that
all VLANs will traverse the routers interface. The cheapest way to do this
would be a layer 3 switch. Something like a Cisco 3550 with EMI image. Check
out www.cisco.com for more info.
