Not that it's incredibly difficult to do by hand, but it is a complex
undertaking fraught with some risk in doing it wrong. I believe you'd
be much better served looking at some of the firewall applications out
there, such as IPCop or Smoothwall. Another one to look at is Shorewall
(http://www.shorewall.net/), which is not configured via Web GUI, but is
purely text configuration. I've used Shorewall for several years and
like it a lot... Tom Eastep did a pretty good job.
