[Gllug] Firewall setup Routing

[Richard]

Hi,

The recommendations on-list have been for the commercial Smoothwall 
variant. Bear in mind that the commercial Smoothwall is a different 
beast from the free Smoothwall and has a much larger feature set. I 
believe it does support multiple "red" interfaces. You will of course 
have to part with some hard earned, rather than some hard graft.
