hi,
openbsd and pf are really great for firewalling a network. and they are coming 
for free. (but hey, you can also buy their cd's to support them)

you need some time to read through the docs and testing afterwards, but i 
think it's worth. the rules are very easy to write, and more easyly to read.
(compared with linux iptables and such...)
and also its well documented in manpages and faq.
