Your server doesn't need to do any routing or
firewalling. The DI-614 has all the firewall and routing
capabilities that you need. In fact, it appears to be running it's own
version of linux.

Put your server on your internal network. You don't need 3 nics, only
one. It will need a fixed ip address. Configure your 614 to port
forward port 80 to it.

Install a well know distro on it, and install apache web server. I
personally prefer Debian, but others will give different advice. Ubuntu
is also good, it's Debian based, but is probably easier to install and has
a nice gui.
