[K12OSN] Firewall

[Mark Cockrell]

This may be a bit off topic, and if so I apologize for that.  Our school 
is currently running a proprietary firewall, and it's no longer meeting 
out needs.  I'd like to upgrade but, naturally, have very little in the 
way of budget.  Can anyone recommend a solid firewall that provides 
stateful packet inspection, VPNs, IP Tunnels, multiple IP aliases and 
inbound and outbound packet filtering for about 500 -1000 concurrent 
connections?  And, of course, if it's Free and Open Source, so much the 
better.  I'm not asking for much, am I?
