Need Advice/Input on Router/Firewalls

Hi All,

I am in the process of researching router/firewall/vpn applicanes, and
wanted some input from the community.

I have a somewhat complex network, with am internal NAT LAN, and an
external DMZ zone with a block of public IP addrersses given to me by
my ISP. I use that DMZ zone for mail servers and web servers. I also
have several site to site VPN's.

My requirements are:

- URL/content filter and log
- Traffic QOS control in and out
- DMZ ports (or ability to configure ports as such)
- Dual WAN and automatic failover (Hight Availabiliy)
- VLAN Support
- IPSEC VPN- must allow roaming clients (connections from dynamic IP
links)
- 19" rack mount is prefered

One reason for this is we are aquiring a backup Internet link (from the
same provider, but on a different T-1 circuit). I need to be sure that
when the primary link goes down or is flodded, the backup takes over-
not only for the internal LAN, but for the hosts in the DMZ.

I have been looking at the D-Link DFL 1600- anybody have thoughts on
that? It is a business class, and seems pretty new. I am trying to
stay away from 3-com and Cisco simply becasue it is so very complicated
(the equipment that matches my requiremments) and modulrized. I prefer
an integrated, simple solution lilke the D-Link.

Thank you for your time!
