Letting a computer decide to make firewall rules on my behalf is a 
thought that terrifies me, perhaps a simple any-distribution config 
rule will be more to your taste ?  Check out 'ipmenu' which I used in a 
previous job (the other admins were too scared of building rules 
themselves, but ipmenu does make life easier when you're used to it, 
and can also look after the configuration more complicated routing 
policy such as traffic shaping.)

It's a little curses application.
