Not unless you have a contract that says that they are responsible
for locking the machine down.

The default should be ok for drive 1, you can make drive 2 a seperate
filesystem for doing backups and it would work fine.

That's a typlical 'Linux' partitioning choice, personally I dislike it
and prefer something link:
120M /
300M /var
2xRAM swap (limit 1 gig)
rest /usr
/usr may be split into /usr and /usr/home, if so /usr usually gets
about 1.5gigs and /usr/home gets the rest.
A couple of suggestions:
1) please wrap lines at 70 characters when posting to the list.
2) you seem to be in pretty bad need for a skilled FreeBSD
consultant or full time admin.
see: http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/consulting_bycat.html
or perhaps respond in private mail if you're interested in
a training, perhaps we could work something out.
best of luck,
