Monowall is very nice, I have a pentium pro 200 with 256 meg of ram on a 
6meg small business circuit with 3 vpn tunnels to remote sites that have 
a Cisco 831, cisco pix 501, and cisco pix515. The server runs at about 
10% average and it took literally about 10 minutes to set all of this 
up. The problem you may have with monoowall and I need to refresh myself 
with the documentation again but I believe it only supports 3 network 
interfaces. If you populate the box with Intel pro 1000 gigabit network 
cards they do support vlan tagging though. Good luck and let us know 
what you might end up with.
