Harry,
It *sounds* like you are describing a 'network appliance firewall'. We sell and
have had excellent experience with the Firebox II, from WatchGuard
(www.watchguard.com). Moderate cost ($5K), stand-along bright red box - no OS
troubles (though it is Linux based), no separate hardware, *really*
straightforward management from your admin console, realtime security updates
(daily).
