    YeOldeStonecat, clarkconnect seems to be exactly what I am looking for. All the router distros I had heard of didn't have NAS included. So that meant either adding it, or taking a stock linux distro and turning it into a router. Either way would have a steep learning curve of linux and linux...

    I didn't disappear, I spent the weekend doing lots of research on Cisco and build-my-own options. After learning much, including the fact that a router/NAS is considered poor security (which you would think I know having passed the CISSP exam), I decided that a router/NAS is "secure enough"...
