I take a more whitelist/controlled approach with my multiple DVM. With 4.0 you 
can have multiple DVMs and have different DVMs for each domain(This can be 
changed in the "Advanced" tab in the AppVMs in 4.0). Very cool feature...

For example:

I have a DVM setup for printing only, the firewall rules on that DVM are:

Address: Printers wireless IP = 192.168.1.6 (fixed IP in my case)
Service(or port): 515 (Canon) or 9100 (HP) or other ports might be needed 
including 631, 427. Research your printer for whats required...
Protocol: TCP only

For my email IMAP AppVM(In the email AppVM "Firewall" tab):

2 Rules-
Address: 66.11.4.135 (imap.fastmail.com)
Service(or port): 993
Protocol: TCP

Address: 66.11.4.140 (smtp.fastmail.com)
Service(or port): 465
Protocol: TCP

(To be honest I use a different email provider so the IP and ports are 
different but you get the idea. This info as with my own is usually published 
on thesite or available by asking the network admin)

My "Web Surfing" DVM has no firewall rules i.e. "Allow All" which I can also 
print from. This could be tightened up if needed...

I have played with my VPN AppVM as follows(kinda kill switch?):
Address: 168.1.75.17 (IP address to my VPN connection)
Service(or port): 1194
Protocol: TCP

You might have a AdminVM for your router, firewall or switch which could be:
Address: 192.168.4.6
Service(or port): 31006 (I think there are +65000 ports available)
Protocol: TCP

My sys-firewall does not have any restrictions


With this set up, I can:
a) Assign the Print DVM to my Vault and Email AppVM, I think most important for 
email Appvm to prevent a malicious attachment from "calling home" when 
opened(Althoug it could go thru my printer?). 
b) Assign the web surfing DVM to my "untrusted" domain
c) Have a restricted AppVM for Web GUI admin functions

I just take a more strict approach and block ALL then whitelist when 
needed...for me this gives me what I need. Again open to feedback if this is 
wrong...
