Yes, sorry for the confusion and my newbness, I am using a linux box (Ubuntu distro) as a DHCP server. I have eth0 to internet via pppoe (high speed fiber). The second option sounds best since I already have the public addresses assigned to the server but I don't know what to assign to it for a gateway. The ISP provided us with 8 or 10 (I forget exactly how many) public IPs. I have the servers (two of them) plugged directly into the switch (which is plugged into the linux box). I then have multiple wireless routers also plugged into the switch to provide internet access over wifi to different parts of the building (around 20 workstations in total).
