If you're interested, I've written a small tool as a proof of concept and
prototyped it in Bash. It's called Dwall and allows you to set up complex
firewalls (ie. with multiple zones) using only a few config-files.
It's actually very simple and allows you to have an overview of what is
configured and what changes have been made and when (and by whom). You can
download it from:

I'm looking for someone who's got the time to re-implement it in Python,
but if that doesn't happen and I gain some extra time, I may do that
myself :)
Kind regards,
