W2k3

Firewall.

Does the built in 2k3 firewall provide the granularity to allow incoming 1433 from a specified list of hosts and block all other tcp/udp 1433 requests?

I'm not seeing that it does. But I'm a little gun-shy after having installed a pro version of zone alarm on a web server and seeing it brought to its knees once...

Any recommendations on good and cheap commerical firewall apps?

Why bother? You can get a reasonable firewall for under £60 now. Generally better than any software solution other than products like ISA server and Linux boxes!!!
If your in the UK try

You can enable IPsec in Windows 2003. But I would go with a firewall.

Unfortunately its a colo server, so we really need a software firewall we can install remotely..
