Why use another box, use vlans on a managed switch to split your networks up & tag each vlan on the switch port the openbsd fw is connected on, on the openbsd fw side of things, enable ip forwarding (net.inet.ip.forwarding=1) & configure a vlan(4) interface for each vlan configured on the switch port, this tactic is sometimes referred to as a "router on a stick" Sevan
