I can't recommend shorewall enough.  It makes creating a very complex
firewall into an easy task.

Even though it was designed to be placed on a routing firewall, it
works quite well on a single-homed host too.  I'd be happy to share
some basic configs if it would help get someone up and running.

Thanks
