OT - suggestions for setting up a shared web development environment

[kevin.kempter at dataintellect.com]

Hi List;

I used to have a firewall with the astaro firewall on it which allowed PPTP 
VPN access to my local network. The astaro box died and I'm having difficulty 
getting astaro up on another box. I wonder if there is a better or more of a 
best practice method open source style that would allow me to have a 
distributed web development team and have a test box where certian end users 
could access the test system. I'm open to any hardware/software solution that 
is simple and secure...

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
