There are two simple solutions:

If you want more disk space run the thing diskless (NFS root partions)
this gives plenty of space and no lifing of the CF card.

Alt, if the system is only there as a firewall/bridge/router running off
a CF card then mount the root file system RO.  This is the better option
as you are not dependant on the NFS server.  Also, you stated that your
firewall/bridge/router so "doing nothing else".
