I personally like having the firewall on a separate box because it's safer.
That said, there is already a linux based product that would fit your needs.
It's called Network Concierge available at www.nc4u.com. I don't use it, but a
couple of friends do and they are happy with it. And you could use it with STN
too.
Cheers,
