Hi Jan,

it would help, if you can tell the firewall you are using. :)

For Checkpoint FW-1 there is a central managment server. 
For the cisco PIX there is a GUI where you can also save the config local - so
you can create something like a managment server (perhaps it is better now,
last time I used a PIX is 3 years ago). 

For the opensource firewalls (ipfilter from Darren Reed, FreeBSDs ifpw,
OpenBSDs pf and Linux iptables/ipchains) there are some projects in different
state of completing. Take a look at www.sourceforge.net for the most of them.

Hope that helps

Marc
