Answer A: Yes you can, with the right amount of additional network
interfaces, switches and cables (just one extra NIC in the
Linux server + a cross-over cable to the Netgear should be
enough, for most cases).
Answer B: Yes you can, with logical subnets - this may not work out
"of the box" with all the clients and might require some
configuration tweaks.
Answer C: Which model of Netgear?
The Netgear probably already runs Linux, and there's a
chance you can just upgrade to an open, community distro
like OpenWRT.
