If somebody could point me to some documents that describe in simple terms, how to configure the firewall properly, I'd appreciate it.
I have looked at firestarter and yes, it works - it either blocks
traffic or it lets traffic in - but it looks a little too primitive for
a production server.
Try fwbuilder. http://www.fwbuilder.org/. It's an excellent GUI firewall configuration tool.
I use it for our border firewall and host firewalls on the mail and web servers.
