    maybe i'm wrong but it's better that you use another subnet for
    the server, not using 172.16.10.0.
    Maybe you can use 192.168.1.0 for the servers. With this AFAIK,
    the client can't connect to the servers, unless through a gateway.

    do you really need the whole class B for clients?
