Howdy,
                I am looking for something a little unique in a bit of a tough situation with some sticky requirements.  First off, my 
requirements are a little weird and I can't bend them a whole lot due to stipulations being put on me.  I am in need a firewall appliance 
which can be run on VMware vSphere, with IPSEC support for multiple Phase 2 negotiations within a single Phase 1.  I am also in need of 
something that can support VLAN interfaces on the LAN side, and ideally something with multi zoning so I can keep LAN side networks separate 
from each without ridiculous firewall rules.  Meaning build a zone for "Customer network 1" and it displays separately (ease of 
management and firewall config hopefully).  I need a minimum of 10 "zones" on LAN side (/29 or /30), and NAT support for LAN to WAN 
(to dedicate all outbound connections to a single IP from a specific zone), ideally something extremely scalable (100-200 zones).  And here is 
the super fun part!  I need something that is going to be web managed primarily as minions will be doing most of the day to day maintenance, or 
very simple CLI config.  Willing to pay for something if need be, but looking for something that can easily handly 50-100mbit of throughput.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Vyatta.  They have an appliance on their website.
