Correct me if I'm wrong, but having two firewalls is better than one. One for the DSL modem that is exposed to the internet, and then a separate firewall for the internal lan that is only exposed to the DSL firewall is better than firewalling everything from 1 box. It may delay a compromise and make tracking logs easier.
