We will look, I hope someone reminds me at Clinic to look at this.
 There is no good way to get another port out of the box without
cutting a hole.  There are many fanless boxen with multiple gigabit
NICs on the market these days;  that seems like a cheaper/better 
way to go.

For lower speed, routing my mere 15Mbps FIOS, I make do with a 
three port ALIX from PCengines (a 24 port gigabit switch on the
internal network).  Fellow plugger Russell Senior knows a lot more
about ALIX than I do.  If I was ambitious, I would enable the AMD
Geode (X86) processor's built-in crypto engine to accelerate OpenVPN.
