Well, using VLANs will combine the internal routers and switches. You
can simply create a VLAN for each subnet in use by your servers, and the
switch will take care of the routing between the VLANs for you. By
adding packet filtering on the switch, you may also reduce some of the
overhead of filtering outbound traffic on the firewall.
