Not a lot of ipf out there on OpenBSD these days, except for people who 
run older releases of OpenBSD.  ipf was dropped ages ago.

That said, yes, I've build a couple of firewalls with a caching 
nameserver on them.  But not on sparc hardware (PeeCee).  Most of my 
SS2's need NVRAM, and all of them need RJ45 transceivers so I haven't 
done anything with them yet.  Dunno what to expect.  Though if this is 
for a business, I'd probably try using a sun4m box from the getgo.  
sun4c isn't getting much love from the *BSD or Linux guys anymore so 
you'll be stuck with older buggy distros complete with any security 
holes that have been found since their release and not patched before 
EOL.
