Network Layout

I am not sure if pfsense is capable of this so I thought I'd ask while my hardware is in the mail.
Can I turn off the dhcp server?
I have 4 nic's in my router, 1 for internet, 3 for LAN. However I want each lan port to be a gateway for a different network, and I want everything that goes over LAN1 to go to VPN1, everything that goes over LAN2 to go over VPN2, and everything that goes over LAN3 to go over VPN3. Can i set up 3 seperate vpn's in pfsense, then have traffic route over different ones based on what port it comes in through?

Yes, Firewall Rules on your Interfaces and OpenVPN with config to route the networks.

Ok, great. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to specify which, I haven't looked at it at all, but it's time for a light weight security appliance. Do you think that an intel atom d525 can handle it? I'd imagine raw throughput shouldn't tax the cpu that hard.

As a rough guide a D525 will top out at ~50Mbps of VPN traffic total. It varies by encryption type etc. That's assuming you're terminating the VPNs at the pfSense box which you appear to be doing.
