We're talking about configuring a firewall here aren't we?  I would
have thought the last thing you would want running on your firewall is
a web-based service that lets you configure the machine/firewall...

There's always a trade-off between security and convenience.  On your
firewall you just don't want that sort of convenience...

peace & happiness,
