While not free, T.Rexx is advertised as an open-source, full-function 
firewall for between $49.00 and $149.95. One day I hope to check it
out :)

So you've got three inline boxes?

untrusted -> appGW -> ipfilter -> pktFilter -> trusted

I've been thinking of a similar configuration out of the desire to
use single-purpose, free software but was having qualms about
daisy-chaining devices in the middle of the communications path.

I assume you've had good luck with reliability and interoperability?
