Can you make it work without a hardware firewall? Yes.
Is a perimeter firewall and a firewall on every machine as well a
good idea? Yes.
Is having a pair of hardware firewalls for failover recommended?
Yes.
Does your project justify the expense of a hardware firewall, or
even two? Your call.
I've never heard of Endian. Most of these things are just BSD/Linux
boxes with some sort of management interface, but that is not
necessarily a bad thing.
Cheers,
Andy
