Re: host-specific firewall configurations:

I've been looking over Ript (https://github.com/bulletproofnetworks/ript)
lately - it does a lot of things in what I would consider The One True
Right Way... I still have to figure out how I would want to wedge it into
our Chef infrastructure, though.  :-)  And there are several competing ways
to do the same thing, in this case - some already mentioned by other folks.

There's also the not-so-small matter of it (ript) emitting iptables
rulesets (rather than ipfilter) when I have thousands of Solaris hosts to
deal with.... :-)

best,
