      I use an alix 2d13 today with DHCP.
      DNS is running on separat Centos box.
      I have 2 separate routers connected to the alix 2d13 network, which have their own network segment:
      192.168.0.2 - uses 10.0.0.1 - about 10 clients connects..
      192.168.0.3 - uses 172.0.0.1 - about 15 clients connects..

      –

      But with all the games, ports and NATing.. I'm now looking into replacing it all with ONE box that can host dhcp, dns (but not needed) and VLAN's!0

      The SG-4860 seems like a good idea, but i'm on a budget role, and the device is not easy to get outside US.

      Any good ideas ?  Small PC boxes I could buy? and combine 3 network cards ?

        SG-4860 can handle a lot more VLAN's than 3. If your budget is limited, I suggest you go with SG-2440.

          It all depends on the Internet connection speed and what and how many packets you have installed on that box!

          It could be that a smaller variant likes the SG-2440 would do the job also fine, and with more luck a smaller one
          will do the job too but without installing any packets then on that device. (pure firewall, DHCP, 3 VLANs,….)

          SG-1000 - up to ~100 MBit/s Internet speed and low VPN & firewall only
          SG-2220 - up to ~500 MBit/s, Internet speed IPsec & OpenVPNVPN, IDS/IPS
          SG-2440 - up to ~900 MBit/s Internet speed, VPN, Squid & SquidGuard, pfBlockerNG, IDS/IPS

          Or a total different way with the R1 from netgate.com
