It's certainly the opposite of free (you have to buy some Cisco kit) and may
not be what you are after but I once set up a system thus:
[this will look poo if you're not using a fixed width font]


feed from firewall

_____________|_____________
|___________________________| Any old switch/hub

|___|___|___________ Shared Servers 10.0.1.0/24
| (dhcp server,
| print server, smtp relay)
|
|
______________________________|_______

| vlan1 | vlan2 | vlan1+2 | Cisco C3500XL Switch
|_____________|_____________|__________|
| |
| |
Private1 Private2
10.0.1.0/24 10.0.1.0/24

It enabled some bods who were using the office to see the shared
services/servers and connect to the internet but anything connected to
either VLAN was hidden from the other.

As I said, maybe expensive and overkill, but it worked a treat
