What is the best firewall/iptables management tool for multiple servers?

Question

We are setting up iptables for each server we run, is there a nagios kind of tool that will allow us to see and manage from a central console without requiring us to get in each server and setup each and every iptables ?

If there is an open source firewall that does this I'd be glad to know. (we don't want to use webmin)

Answer 1

My recent question on large-scale firewalling produced fwbuilder as being a possible contender -- apparently (I haven't evaluated it yet) it allows you to describe all of your firewalls in one place and then have them applied where they're needed. Could be worth a look.

Answer 2

We're looking at doing this using Puppet - there's a module for iptables configuration
