Reliable computing hardware running OpenBSD[0].  If you're multihomed
and use BGP for route-advertising, the software is built right in.  If
you want to run a pair of firewalls with the capability to cluster
therm, you can do that, too.  It's easy to manage (it's just BSD), and
you really can't beat the price.


[0] NetBSD has better networking performance, but OpenBSD has pf, so
     it's a close call.
