Anytime you get a firewall for a server you should always get a corporate edition. Those are streamlined for use instead of looks.

Why don't you go for a hardware implementation of a Firewall ?

I feel that if you install something like ISA or Symantec on your regular server, you're just increasing the workload on the server. So, it's always better to install these on a seperate machine. That would involve investing in a new machine, and a new OS license.

Instead, you could implement Hard-firewall such as Watchguard, or Fortigate, or Sonicwall.
