Sorry, but in Linux it's called RYO - Roll Your Own. Firewalling in nearly
any capacity needs to be a customized thing. If you're looking for a
firewall which has some nice tools to make the creation process pretty, and
are willing to pay for it, check out Astaro Linux. It's based on the 2.4
kernel and NetFilter (which can do all that you need) and includes for
about $5000 (IIRC) a very nice web-GUI.

Thoughts? well they only come occasionally these days.
the short answer....www.openbsd.org
the long answer is, a firewall is as secure as its operator. Linksys
makes a decent box, but you must keep track of updates. Linux router
project was great, but now apparently in limbo or something. Mandrake
SNF gets good reviews from this crowd.
whatever you use, everyone will tell you to do your best to break in
before someone else does it for you.
