Arthur,
We do provide the above functionalities. As for easy setup,couple of
questions:
1. When you say Starter Kit, is the Solaris 10 or are you
working off of Solaris Express?
2. What kind of routing are you doing ( static or dynamic and if latter
what daemon?)
3. Are you interested in taking advantage of some of the Crossbow
features like adding bandwidth control for each of the above components,
vnics support etc? If so, please visit
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vnm
and subscribe to vnm-discuss mailing list. If you are interested in
this, and are willing to try prototype version, we have a GUI( which
uses webmin) to setup your box as a appliance running all the above
components.
If on the other hand you are not interested in bandwith control and vnic
support and are doing just static routing then I think you could set the
above components using /usr/sfw/lib/webmin
Let us know of your configuration, so we can provide further help
