They certainly are. Depending on the exact make/model, every single 
port (all 5) can be configured as a separately routable inteface if you want.

(Yes there are 5 - the WAN port is just configured by default on its own
VLAN as the outside interface)

The only thing to keep in mind is that traffic _routed_ between separate 
VLANs is trunked through a single (internal) 100Mb port. Traffic on the 
same segment is fully switched though.

Yup - the software is very good. It's really nice to see a debian/apt
style system. eg 'ipkg install nmap' and it downloads and installs
automatically.
