This system can be a pain to configure. Ok, with that out of the way I can toot my own horn now. My company sells a package called KeepOut that sits on top of the FreeBSD IPFW (IP FireWall) system. Written in Perl, KeepOut allows you to write simple rules which it translates into IPFW commands. IPFW (with or without KeepOut) combined with something like TIS's firewall toolkit allows you to setup a fairly secure firewall system.
