The stock firmware doesn't allow you to put restrictions on forwarded 
ports. Once you forward a port, anyone source address can access it. I'm 
also 99% sure it doesn't allow administartion via ssh, but it's been so 
long since I ran stock firmware. While the sveasoft firemware isn't an 
option, it still doesn't (at least alchemy) offer the capability to put 
restrictions on forwarded ports either.

However, after some digging and phone calls, I found the dlink DI-604 
Revision E will do what I need, with the exception of secure management:

http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=62&pv=17&sec=1

The manual can be found at:

ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/di604_revE1/Manual/di604_manual_206.zip

Of interest are pages 21 (Advanced->Virtual Server) and page 29
(Advanced->Filters->Firewall)

The A,B,C revisions of the device make no mention of "Virtual Servers" in 
the Firewall section of their manual.
