Perhaps the ideal solution would be to scare up a low-spec box and throw
in a couple of cheap NICs, then put SmoothWall onto it. It'll give you
everything a router can and more, is a snap to set up and configure, and
you can ssh in to it and play with the config files directly when you have
a particularly tricky hoop that needs jumping through. :)

Well, with the possible exception of that one ... ;)
