Sort of depends on what you want and are willing to spend. There are
probably lots of options here, but I'm using a SonicWALL SOHO2 to do
essentially the same thing. I have four static IP addresses, firewalled
using SonicWALL's one-to-one NAT. I doubt that there are many choices on
the software side, but I haven't really looked for this kind of option in
software, as I wanted an appliance firewall. The SOHO3 (newer model than
mine) currently goes for < $400 on buy.com. Well worth the money. That's
for 10 clients (or servers), BTW. The SOHO3/50 is about $900.
