Any switching hub will do although that's expensive.
Cabletron makes a line of hubs that "encrypt" data on other ports on the
hub that don't have the intended MAC address. 603-332-9400 Might be
what you are looking for.
You could also use a spare router port on your outside router - if you
have one.
If you are just getting into firewalls, some support a third ethernet
card.
All effectively preventing sniffers in the DMZ from seeing
firewall-router traffic.
