Sounds like you're talking about something like Untangle which provides
firewall, virus scanner, vpn, web filter, spam checker, and god knows
what else into one easy to deploy image

  http://www.untangle.com/

I've not used it in production, but its trivial to install inside a 
Xen or KVM virtual machine, as well as a physical host.

There's of other similar products / projects around too - Shorwall is a
classic project focusing on firewalling.
