You should _never_ run samba across the internet, unless it's through an
encrypted tunnel. Making samba accessible from the internet would be a
very bad idea.

No. You can still run samba on the same IP set thing (subnet), in fact it
would be a lot of unnecessary work to set it up on a different subnet as
you'd have to start giving the machines 2 IP addresses.

All you need is to make sure the router (the box that connects to the
internet) isn't part of the MS network, ie. it doesn't run the samba
software.
