I'm looking at possible candidates to act as a router/gateway/firewall in my planned virtual infrastructure. I will have a physical LAN on one side, the internet on the other, and internally a sort of DMZ for my server VMs. (See attached illustration if you don't get it. 
)
I have looked at the following so far:
m0n0wall
pfSense
SmoothWall Express
Since I have been having issues with network performance in FreeBSD 6.2 I'm somewhat dubious towards m0n0wall and pfSense, but I think their base is a FreeBSD pre-6.2 so it might be ok using the vmxnet device for good performance. But my favorite so far has been SmoothWall, however I had some trouble with its DNS server/proxy.
What do you use or recommend, and what makes it good?
