Low power and gigabit is an argument (no go with pfsense there), as long
as computing power is available, which it isn't on any of the soekris boards
Soekris 6501

4x intel gig ports and an atom CPU
I don't know if it would route wire speed or not.
PSU is a max of 30 watts but not stated what its actual draw is.
VLANs are cool, but what do you use on the other side? Is there some
small box that splits a VLAN up into say 3 or 4 ports again?
Yes - its a managed ethernet switch. Cisco and Procurve are excellent,
I have an Allied Telesys at home.
Other brands exist as well, and are either fully managed (ie, have a
CLI) or web managed.
Any questions please ask - I do a lot of this
