I've googled and don't see anything for the 7201, just the 7600 series. :/ i.e. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/ios/12.2SR/configuration/guide/... Anyone have any suggestions on (something cheap) that I can put in front of this box to spare it from (what I suspect) is a gateway that unicast floods when a MAC address has aged? To add to my challenges, I'm in Brazil and importing gear is insanely effing difficult. :/ -- Also on LinkedIn?

I need a minimum of 10 "zones" on LAN side (/29 or /30), and NAT support for LAN to WAN (to dedicate all outbound connections to a single IP from a specific zone), ideally something extremely scalable (100-200 zones). And here is the super fun part! I need something that is going to be web managed primarily as minions will be doing most of the day to day maintenance, or very simple CLI config. Willing to pay for something if need be, but looking for something that can easily handly 50-100mbit of throughput.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Vyatta. They have an appliance on their website.

Normally I would agree with you as far as separate instances, however this will be in a situation where we pay ridiculous amounts for cpu and memory, so a single instance is what we are shooting for (remember those ridiculous requirements). I am planning to do some further testing with vyatta and pfsense. Thanks you all for the on list and off list responses!

I might also look at Vyatta. They have appliances or you can run the software on your own hardware.
I would not go with Vyatta if you're doing anything complex. The number of random bugs I've hit with their software are numerous. In the right hands, it's a powerful tool. And it seems to fit your solution really well.
If I were in your shoes, I would install two instances that would handle the "edge" of the cluster, and then an instance per customer (lightweight, they sell a VMWare image). Then use dynamic routing to direct traffic to the customer (assign each customer their own ASN, and peer with their instance). So, worse case scenario, the NOC monkey only breaks one customer's gear.
