I am not a router/firewall person in any way shape or form. I know there
are cheaper ones out there. This is for a small business (42 employees)
where the vast majority of our orders come in over the internet. This one
handles multiple internet sources which could very well be in our future.

Personally I gave up on firewall/router appliances and use a
Linux-based system where I wrote BASH scripts to configure up all of
the processing.

This is at home, but I do have my own mail/web server. I have one
internet connection (but used to have two), one DMZ, and two LANs, but
could support a lot more than that if desired.

The only tricky part is with multiple internet connections and NAT it
requires using advanced routing to make sure that packets go back on
the same connection and IP address as they came in.
