How would this interact with VPNs. I tend to run services with full VPN
internal access (openvpn) but no access from the public Internet.

Also what services would default to opening firewall ports? CUPS, for
example, opens a port both for local printing and for remote use. If I
have CUPS on a box without local printers, it likely doesn't need
firewall holes.

Perhaps modify system-config-security to allow ports to be opened by
service (not by port) and have initscript functions look at that?
