FWIW:

A solution I've been implementing lately at my company is to use 
fault tolerant sparc5's from Resilience.  They are quite pricey 
but since we're using a commercial firewall, it is offset 
somewhat by not having to purchase a second firewall license.

We still have to have multiple routers, internet connections, and
hubs, but at least it simplifies the firewall administration.
