The software that runs in the linksys boxes is really just a copy of linux, 
with all source code available. It does include firewalling capability. The 
routing table can be set to a manual mode and all routing discovery 
protocols turned off.

The only piece of custom code that would have to be written for the router 
would be a server to allow remote administration of the routing table. Even 
that is not absolutely required because it could be done through existing 
remote access protocols like ssh.

Its just a SMOC (small matter of configuration).
