Could be interesting. I've rarely seen firewall as a service done right though. It's hard to keep, cpu, memory usage, DDOS attacks, misconfiguration, etc. of one customers from affecting the other customers that share hardware. That being said there are better platforms to run the firewall instances on that are available now, checkpoint VSX comes to mind.
