Care to expand on that? How would using a VLAN help me to firewall the web servers?
There's no concept of a DMZ or anything in this scenario - the only things behind the firewall are servers.

Well, using VLANs will combine the internal routers and switches. You can simply create a VLAN for each subnet in use by your servers, and the switch will take care of the routing between the VLANs for you. By adding packet filtering on the switch, you may also reduce some of the overhead of filtering outbound traffic on the firewall.
