My guess is that is where the information came from.

Wouldn't the easiest solution be to use a PC running some *nix?
It should also cope very easily with the 50Mbps..

I would be a little worried with the NAT tables on the small routers...
May work - but my gut would be telling me to look for an alternate solution
