SBS servers

We have the following setup

ESXi 4.1

2 Hosts (SBS 2003 Server  and File Server)

We need to build another SBS 2008 server in the same environment. The can't be two SBS servers in the same subnet so we will need to seperate the traffic.

The server has 3 Physical nics. Two are connected to the vswtich1.

How do I go about settting up another subnet for the new SBS and yet still be able to access the internet?

my understanding is that you have 1 ESXi v4.1 host, and 2 VMs, and you want to add another VM on a different subnet. To vSphere, it is not a problem, you can create different vSwitch with different subnet, and connect your new SBS 2008 VM to it. The thing is that vSphere can't route your SBS 2008VM traffic to internet, you need to router to do that job. As long as the router is there, no problem. that applies to both management traffic and VM traffic.
