Nothing about an ADSL router means givign up control. Mine acts as a
pure passthrough router. No filtering, no firewalling, no NAT, nothing.
I have a separate firewall box box for that, precisely so that I can
retain the control in an environment (OpenBSD) that I trust.

My setup thus looks like this:

 +----------+      +-------------+      +----------+      +--------+
 | Internet |----->| ADSL router |----->| Firewall |----->| Switch |
 +----------+      +-------------+      +----------+      +--------+

The rest of my network is connected to the switch.
