Another good open-source one with IPv6, Sourcefire rules support,
stateful firewall and filtering at traffic and web address level etc
is Vyatta (http://www.vyatta.org and http://www.vyatta.com). They're
also rather nice routers if I do say so myself.
Do let us know which one you end up picking and how you go with it.
