If you don't want to build one, there are lots of companies that will sell them, but aside from Monowall and maybe the Nokia IP firewalls which use FreeBSD, the rest (ie, Cisco PIX/ASA, Sonicwall, etc) use other platforms and are off-topic. You could also start with enforcing your companies' policies on computer & network usage. If you fire people who are using torrents after they've been warned not to, you'll solve the problem at the source. -- -Chuck
