Actually I do, as I work in this area.  Granted my job is secure 
communications, not secure OS/apps, but I work with the team that does 
deal with this.

It goes back to my good friend Steve Bellovin where in his firewall book 
he called the firewall the crunchy outside and the corp net the chewy 
inside.  He later was a strong advocate for per system firewalling; what 
we have today.  When we keep it on, that is.

Also why I want to get my DNS server off of the old Centos to current 
and my Samba and Mail servers also to current.

Past due.
