Hi David, I don't think there is any set practise on this point. The determining factors are probably how skilled your firewall people are and what size of organisations the firewalls are protecting. More skilled admin people should be able to handle more systems. The size of organisation will tend to indicate the complexity of the system and likelihood of serious attack: I bet 10 small companies is equal to one medium one for instance.
Investment in management tools can save a lot of people time. I remember way back reading the logs on every firewall I had each day. These days I don't think anyone would do that, there are concentrators and alerters to handle most of that work.
