Using an HP proliant microserver N40 as firewall will get you enough
bandwith at a very reasoble price (approx. 200 Euro). My 500 Mbit/s link
can be fully saturated both down and uplink.
Firewalling something like 10 vlan's (using a dedicated em interface for
egress, and bge for the vlan's) works well. I did some tests for maximum
bandwith and I got to the maximum 1 Gbit/s with a rather long pf. Get
away from vmware for your firewall as others already suggested.
