Windows Server 2003 but there's no way I would trust it's firewall. Plus
the client will have full admin access so I need to compensate for any
config errors on their part :-)

NAT's not a viable option for these machines so Smoothwall and its ilk
aren't really what I'm after. My impression is that these are really aimed
at home/soho users which isn't really what we need.
