I have thinked about it. I have tried monowall just with firewall
router and it's a good choice. The down-thing is that you can't
setup the dhcp as freely as I wan to do (e.g. setup the dhcpd for
pxeboot for diskless for example). And there is not so much to do
to secure the firewall further than the monowall group already
have done.

Well, it does. And there is a good description for a dmz also.
