I would look at the Endian open source firewall.  It offers many
features and has a web interface.  They also offer commercial support
and hardware appliances if your management requires or wants that.

Two NIC ports + iptables (using Shorewall if you choose) = Pretty darn
good firewall imho.

So I need some advice on firewall security. I use ubuntu servers at work and am very comfortable with debian.  At 
work we have a cisco piz firewall....however another smaller company we help doesn't have the budget or staff for a 
pix firewall.  I was considering using a distro like redwall or smoothwall and was wondering if anyone had any 
experience with dedicated distros like these.  Also do these distros offer better security then larger installations?
