I'm not sure I understand your question perfectly,
but shorewall has a number of standard configurations (eg two-interfaces)
one of which would suit most situations, I imagine.

I must say, as a shorewall user, I am surprised
at the complication of the resulting iptables,
which makes me think it must be rather difficult
to set up iptables without using an extra program like this.

A bit like sendmail, in fact.

Am I mistaken?
