  A commodity PC running Linux.  Linux has native VLAN support in the
kernel, so we just get more network interfaces.  Linux also has strong
firewall capabilities built-in.  We use a home-grown firewall script,
but there are also some nice "appliance distributions" for this sort
of thing, too.  Just boot from CD, log in to the web GUI, and you're
off and running.  Some don't even need a hard drive.

  That said, most "enterprise class" firewall appliances support VLANs
these days, too.
