You can either :

- connect the dsl router on the switch and keep just one nic on edubuntu
server. BUT then you must stop the eventual dhcp function on your router
because there is already a dhcp daemon running on edubuntu.

- add a 100 mb card on your server and connect it on the dsl router. use
a different subnet for the two cards (192.168.0. by default for ltsp,
and 192.168.1. for the router and second card).

In both cases, clients will access immediately to the internet.
