Why not use an elcheapo regular layer 2, 4 or 5 port switch on the
neighbors lan as it comes into your house (and before the router)?
Adding a layer 3 or VLAN'd switch seems to be complicating things for no
reason.
Code:
--------------------
Internet
|
|
|
Neighbor LAN |---------| |----------| Your LAN |---------------- |
---------------| switch |-----| M0N0wall |--------------| Switch/Wireless |
|---------| | Router | |-----------------|
| |----------|
|
|-----|
| NAS |
|-----|
--------------------
Simple, cheap, effective, flexible....
Another option would be to run a Linksys WRT54GL -- using DD-WRT
firmware, VLAN out the ports, and set up appropriate firewall rules
using IpTables.
This will be a little more difficult to set up than a M0N0wall or PF
Sense box, but it will be the cheapest option of all, and give you all
the functionality you want as well as a low power & silent box (FWIW, as
mentioned above M0N0wall can easily be built on silent, low power
hardware).
