I believe your options in this aspect is either Sun Microsystems
Firewall-1 (which they're really just licensing from checkpoint), or from
what I understand Trusted Information Systems (TIS) is working on a
Solaris version of Gauntlet.

In my experience I'd favor gauntlet as it is a true application level
proxy gateway. Firewall-1 which is supposed to perform as the fastest
firewall around is unfortunately a hybrid packet filtering firewall
therefore it is somewhat less secure (depending on how you setup your
site of course).
