I run basenji.com using the Xrouter from Macsense (www.macsense.com)  The
pro model is pretty cool, and there is a new version rumored (MIH-130A) to
be coming out this month...  it does NAT, selective port forwarding, and a
bunch of other stuff all in a little $200 (or less) chunk o' hardware with
no moving parts.  Setup is easy, and I've never seen one fail.

It has got to be one of the coolest network tools I've found, and the tech
support is good as well.
