Ok, ok, replying to my own post, I know, but I had a stroke of what 
appears to be sanity and decided it would be much simpler to just find a 
couple nice machines with 6 ethernet interfaces -- one each for two 
incoming internet lines, two separated internal LANs, one DMZ, and 
pfsync. So the next question is this: I'd like a nice, fairly small, 
preferably boot-from-LAN box that can do this, preferably x86 just 
because that's what I'm familiar with. The only machine I've found that 
comes with that many LAN interfaces is from Nexcom (some of theirs have 
8 or 12 interfaces!); does anyone know of other options? Thanks...
