Using a router as your primary means of protection is a bad idea. The
more complex your filters get, the more load you will put on the router's
CPU; packet filtering is a crappy method of protecting yourself; unless
you know IOS well, managing ACL's will rapidly become a nightmare.
A certain amount of "screening" on your router for additional security is
a good idea, but buy a firewall.
