A router forwards packets. A firewall doesn't forward packets. If you think a router with filters installed is a firewall then it will work fine. But I think a firewall should be FreeBSD with packet forwarding disabled and TIS firewalls toolkit or Juniper http://www.obtuse.com installed on it. Squid too for WWW proxy.
