If you mean router as in firewall type box that does simple routing,
take a look at ipcop (probably ipcop.org)....it's really great.

There's nothing inherently wrong with using red hat as a router,
especially if you have a seperate firewall.  The big advantge, which
could outweight any disadvantage is if you're already used to Red Hat
on your desktop/server/whatever then the learning curve is minimal.
