If you are going to do simple rules, just put them on the router (we got 
NBT and SNMP blocked there). But don't overestimate the amount of 
security you get from that.
If you want to get a real firewall with decent protecting, you need to 
put a separate box in front of your webserver and run the firewall 
software there (or buy a not-so-nice priced black-box PIX from Cisco). 
Then you can set all sorts of nice rules with TCP flags, statefull 
filtering, limiting connections from IP's/netblocks etc.
