    Gary,

    For a linux firewall, I'd would go with IPCop www.ipcop.org , which is a
    linux distro dedicated to being a firewall and intrusion detection(snort)
    distro with good VPN and DMZ support, which I imagine you want, and don't
    have the time and resources to fool with doing it all by hand. There is
    lots of documentation in many languages and has good community support.
    Securityfocus has a good article on it, even tho its an older version.

    If you have more questions, you can post them on
    http://ipcop.hopto.org/
    or

    Cisco Netranger is ok, but reporting functions aren't that great.

    Peter

    p.s. I wonder if the other guys can read, or just preach BSD to everyone.
