everything inside the LAB should be on a private network, that way everything in the lab can talk to itself without interference from the outside, if you map a switch to a network card then that effectively gives your lab access to anything on that network and vice versa, so if your network card is connected say to your internal company network, and you set your switch to External, using your onboard NIC, then your dhcp server could start handing out ip's on your company network, and you don't want that. so keep your lab private, and only share internet into the lab using a smoothwall or similar. if you want to 'test' deploying things (like operating systems or otherwise) to computers outside of the lab, then follow my guide here
