On a firewall in a hosting environment: Is it possible to have 40 VPN tunnels terminated, one from each customer, and have the trafik ?routed? into the customers VLAN on a switch?

Yes, for appropriate firewalls and software releases.

Examples are the Cisco ASA 5500 series, and the Cisco PIX 525 with PIX 7.0 software and the Unrestricted license, and the Cisco PIX 535 with PIX 7.0 software and any license. [Note: this list already takes into account the number of VPN tunnels you requested. For example, the PIX 525 / 7.0 / Restricted license has the same feature but for fewer tunnels than you asked about.]

Any vlan capable firewall can handle this. Just look at the specs of the firewall, these days almost all of them can do it, although a few years ago lower models couldn't.

Than you all for your help :-)
