Keep in mind that almost all firewall products are, essentially, front-
ends or configurators for IPTables.

That said, I would look at shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net) for this
particular task with, what I gather, is a dedicated machine. I have
found that webmin has a particularly helpful interface to IPTables and
Shorewall. The shorewall module was just revised in the latest release.
