Honestly I haven't really done much with the actual firewall
configurations since I only needed simple NAT.  And since the command
set was different enough from Cisco/PIX that I was more familiar with
I didn't pursue it after it was working.  (That, and our firewall died
when I was out of town and the family was kinda put out until I could
get home and rebuild it, so messing around with it wasn't high on the
list...)
