Really nice functionality in this ReadyNAS box, it appears.

However, it's contrary to the spirit of FOSS.  The same functionality

No additional hardware required, and if it's FOSS you have more
visibility into what it's actually doing.

The same can be said for firewalls with multiple ethernet cards.
