Smoothwall School Guardian and New VLANs

I was
wondering if someone could help me with the specifics of how to set up a VLAN
for the network using Schoolguardian. I do not have formal network training and
so I feel very inadequate to tackle this project, but it just needs to be done
and so any help would be very appreciated…Current Network:

1. I currently have a 10.0.0.0 network 255.0.0.0 with a proxy for filtering at
10.0.0.1:xxx where 10.0.0.1 is the Gateway. 2. I also use the DHCP server which
points to my primary DNS at 10.0.0.2 and Secondary at 10.0.0.4.

3. I use the DHCP server to hand out static IPs created per MAC addresses of
each client. And this, in turn, is used by Guardian Authentication to Identify
by IP and filter by groups. So now I wish to set up a VLAN that will have use of
all these assets including – DHCP server/ group filtering, internet access, and
proxy. But not sure of all the hoops I need to jump through to get there. Here
is what I’m thinking: Set up VLAN; Set up New DHCP Subnet for VLAN ; …Question
here – How will I point to access DNS? Set up Routing Rule .Set up Zone bridging….
Question – do I need both Routing rule and Zone bridging? I’m I thinking
correctly? How do I proxy and DNS? What am I missing?

Again, any help would be wonderful.

FOG, Smoothwall School Guardian and DHCP

I’m trying to set up FOG to image the many computers on campus. DHCP is handled through Smoothwall School Guardian. I need to modify the DHCP settings on School Guardian so it points the PXE services to the FOG server. Does anyone know how this is done in Smoothwall School Guardian?
Static IPs are mostly used on the network, but there is a Dynamic range for visitors. I’m not that familiar with DHCP, SchoolGuardian or FOG so any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
