I highly recommend this approach with the addition of a VLAN so that traffic never leaves the VLAN on the System i bus. You can use 2 Linux LPAR's one for Firewall and one for Web serving in a DMZ. Both the subnets on either side of the DMZ could be VLAN's and therefore never accessible by anything but the iSeries.

I sat in on an LPAR presentation in Miami. I'll see if I can find the diagrams that lay out this scenario.

Firewall -- LPAR1:web iSeries -- Firewall* -- LPAR2:production iSeries

Linux.
