The lower end units they provide are limited in the number of
connections (a connection is anything that uses an IP) on the LAN. Their
higher end units are unlimited in LAN connections, but they are a LOT
more expensive.

The DFL-700 is not limited, provides a WAN, LAN, DMZ jack and then you
can add your own switch to the network to get the number of ports that
you need.

You may want to look at SonicWall's offerings. I admin a pretty large
network. We use Juniper/NetScreen firewalls at the core and they would
most likely be overkill as well. Any device that can provide a level of
access control based on network layer (layer 3) addressing would be
sufficient. You should just flag the traffic destined for port 21 and
check it against a valid list of addresses. You can accomplish this
easily with a PRO 100 SonicWall or a primitive Cisco router (1700
series) using access-control lists.

Any further questions are welcome. Thanks.
