Yup - perhaps a bit overkill for a home network, but hey - that's what I
used to do ;)

You'd need it in the DMZ. The DMZ won't be able to talk to "your" LAN or
the "lodgers" LAN. You'd probably configure it so the lodgers can't talk
to you, and maybe vice-versa.

That's easy enough to do with most decent firewalling systems
(netfilter/iptables, pf, etc) or with an 'appliance' like SmoothWall or
m0n0wall.
