We use Astaro Secure Gateway on a pc as our perimeter security but they now have hardware firewall appliances also. It does very well in reviews. We have been using it for 1 1/2 years now. It has virus protection and surf restrictions, packet filter rules, routing and all the other stuff you'd expect in a firewall. The blocking of driver license number will probably take a special filter no matter what route you go. How are you going to tell a DL# from a SS# from an account number (all of which you probably want to block) from a number of other sorts? There are products specially designed to handle this sort of thing, though I have never used any of them. Larry R.
