Hardware Firewall Suggestions

Hi, I’m running my own hosting stuff out of a ¼ cabinet right now and will be moving to a larger area soon. I’m wondering what you all recommend in terms of hardware firewalls? The important points I want to make that I’m considering right now:

1.) My bandwidth is relatively low (only a few Mbps)

2.) I would like to firewall all of my servers (potentially up to 20 or 30 servers) from this one single hardware solution.

3.) I am put off by the fact that the Cisco PIX501 (or similar Netscreen) products limit the number of IP addresses, or number of rules they can handle. I’m small now, but plan to grow fairly quick. So I have no idea which of these products would work for me and which ones won't.

4.) Ideally my network will be Upstream > Firewall > 24 Port Switch > My Servers

Thanks for your suggestions.
