Folks,

 

Thank you all for your input.

I ended up with Pfsense and WOW!

Does that free Sophos UTM firewall mentioned here a bit back meet your
needs? I'm not sure about the failover part, but you might want to have a
look.

Ideally $150 tops.

I don't mind using a PC as I have so many laying around, but whatever I end
up with would ideally be a little idiot proof as I'm no linux guru. :)

OpenBSD is a popular option in the PC router realm.

 

As for appliances, Sophos (Astaro) and Fortinet sell very affordable devices
that would handle this function as well.

 

What's your budget?

  FYI, Linux *can* do this too, but if I didn't have experience with
either, I'd go with OpenBSD/pf, too.
