Maybe we should ask why the original poster wanted a router behind the
firewall in the first place before we jump on his idea as being a bad one.
What if he wants to collect Netflow data, which a 3550 switch nor a PIX
support? Without knowing the intent, we can't reasonably argue a solution
or alternative.
Besides, I can't find the original post here. Cacca, were answering a post
to GS? I suppose the news feed is getting more posts than the the email
feed, which I subscribe to. The emails have seemingly trickled off here
lately.

Nothing rude dude, but what's the point? What's the reason for it? For 10-20
users your not going to have tons of subnets, if you want a router between
the firewall and switch add a L3 switch rather than a firewall.
I've never heard of putting a router behind a firewall then to a switch for
10-20 users, if you really want to then you would need a 3550 switch or 3560
series switch. Then you are looking about 2k - 3k for the switch.
These are just my thoughts
