Have you looked at things like pfsense?
more than one fortune 500 is using it.
http://www.pfsense.org/

multi-wan can be a little fiddly to setup but it'll turn any machine you 
have laying about the place into a firewall with all the bells and whistles.
And you can set them up with CARP for active failover etc all for the 
low low price of free ;->.
(assuming (like your boss presumably does) your time has a value of 0, 
but then you probably need to learn whatever other system you get anyway)

Hit me up if you would like a hand with it.
