Put an old WRT54GS (rev 4 or lower) at the border, load 3rd party firmware on it, lower security on westel, and use WRT's firewall which can be configured anyway you like. Alterntively (as I sure someone will note) you can put up an old PC w/ linux + IPTables to do the same thing. One of the things I fret about is leaving a daemon exposed to the world and have hesitated until I can get working port knocker script running to dynamically open the ports for a single IP.
