newbie - is this an appropriate use of bridging firewalls?

I am co-locating a production server in a data center. I want it to be
secure as possible while doing it myself.

The server will be *nix/Apache/PHP/MySQL (will separate the MySQL into a
separate box at some point later).

I am think about putting a bridging firewall between the server and the
internet.

Is that more secure than a regular firewall?

What about later when I add the database server in a separate box, would it
be appropriate to have that box behind a bridging firewall?

Thanks
