I want to testify that I'm running Vyatta on VMware Server (the free edition) and it's running without a glitch for some time now. I've bound /bridged 2 NICs to 2 real ones and have been doing VPN and NATing. I know my ambient is not stressful (it's not firewalling nor getting MBps of traffic) but I'd recommend at least trying the vmware + vyatta solution. It's, after all, free to try :)
