Paul's response to Ryan is correct, it is possible to route with a Solaris machine and Firewall-1. Using gated is a good solution that I have seen work very well. It is fairly straightforward to build from source and install yourself. You don't necessarily need Sun Consulting to do it for you unless you want a supported product. It all depends on what you need and what your policy is regarding the security products you build vs. purchase.
