FC as network firewall.

[Mike Burger]

first, the firewall has to have two ethernet interfaces.  The servers 
should sit on one NIC, and the Cisco router on the other.

Other than that, it's just a matterof writing an iptables script, install 
a firewall building utility, or go with something like IPCop (not FC 
based, but a good product).
