Stretch that may not fit your situation, but something worth reading.
Article of Linux on Linksys. I have not personally tried, since I do not
have a Linksys device.

Times that I have configured a router and firewall senerio (using 2
devices), I have put the router on the WAN, and the firewall in the DMZ. If
you put the Linksys behind the SOB, you would use the SOB as the gateway for
the Linksys (since the Linksys is now part of your internal network). Much
of this depends upon the size/funtion of the network. If home or SOHO, you
could just use the BSD firewall. If small business (or larger)/experimental
network that will be hosting website(s), mail server, etc., then the Linksys
would come into the formula.

I have an unused SOB and a Linksys router. How would I configure
ethernet DSL to make a firewall out of the SOB. Can I put it between
the DSL modem and the Linksys? If so do I have to change gateway
settings in Linksys? You guys got me interested in a BSD firewall so I
will attempt it.
