As Steinar mentioned the Netscreen, support virtual systems and also
supports BGP, OSPF and RIP - so it's easily integrated into a typical
RFC 2547bis setup. 

We also do use Juniper M-series with the AS-PIC, this means a very tight 
integration with the L3VPN and a relatively nice price  per L3VPN. This
solution will need a provisiong system. 

I believe that Checkpoint FW-1 also has a version with support for virtual
systems.
