Configuring public static IP on LAN server

Hello,

Here is what we have:

  • DrayTek 2925 Vigor Router using a dynamic IP from ISP
  • switch connected to router via LAN1. And is used for a couple of servers, wifi routers, and hardwired computers.
  • ISP assigned single static IP, gateway, subnet mask, DNS(x2)

The two servers are Linux, if that matters (I've read that I should not configure the static IP on them but rather in the router). One should have outgoing connectivity, and connectivity with all other devices on LAN (serverX) and the other (serverY) needs to be accessible from outside the internal network via the static IP. For the life of me, I cannot get the server to respond via the static IP. I have contacted the router's support which had me doing things I had already tried (VLAN, IP Routed Subnet).

DrayTek

Switch

serverX - local access only
serverY - desired to have outside access via static IP
other devices

Questions:

  • Is what I am trying to do going about things wrong? If so, how should I be doing it?
  • Do I need to do anything on the serverY for the static setup?
  • Can I use a static IP on LAN even though the WAN connection is dynamic?

Other things:
