Firewall, enterprise solution?

Anyone recomend a simple remote firewall management/configuration
utilty for the Mac? A remote management console is what I'm looking
for, something to manage hundreds of devices in an enterprise.

Currently we use ARD and it's nice, however it doens't work well for
what we need. For example, we can make a general set of firewall rules,
and distribute that plist to all the Macs in the enterprise. Now if a
specific machine has a custom set of rules in addition to the general
set, it's custom settings get wiped out by the mass distributed plist.
There's no way to merge.

Thanks!

Have you looked at WaterRoof (available through VersionTracker or
MacUpdate)?
