You can even have a little script that parses /etc/hosts.allow
(even if sshd itself doesn't consult it), and creates firewall
rules based on its contents. That way, it doesn't matter if the
firewall is briefly down. Debian's sshd uses libwrap but I do
this anyway because it's an easy way to manage the firewall,
and because it dramatically reduces the sshd logs.
