Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions for a sub-$600 hardware firewall solution.  I'm
primarily a developer but am also responsible for our server (the one-man IT
department).  I am not a network-head; at one point I tried to homebrew a
Linux box for this purpose and a week later just had a big headache.  I
would thus prefer something easy to manage, that I can forget about unless
there's a problem and then it tells me there's a problem and gives me tools
I can understand to investigate.  We need to use multiple-IP NAT (multiple
outside addresses, mapped to a handful of inside computers with some inside
computers using multiple outside addresses), also good server routing tables
so I can send people looking for our websites to the right destinations.  I
had been interested in the Chilibox until my boss found some
less-than-stellar reviews of the product.  I'm willing to sacrifice
flexibility and even some performance for peace of mind and ease of
management.  Any ideas?
