ARP traffic bring my network to its knees?

[dayhox]

So I am getting a 10Mb fiber line installed with a /28 and am wondering if having the WAN from the ISP media converter going into my main L2 switch, which also connects to a Gig Router (both WAN and single LAN going back into switch) handling DHCP and NAT for the majority of my workstations/printers is going to cause too much ARP or other traffic bogging down my static users (who need access to the private LAN for printing using Duplicate Service on Eth0) and my servers.

This is a central office with satellite offices and home users.

I could just test it, but was trying to get my ducks in a row before turnup.

thanks for your time,
d
