    Sounds like a good idea but I see some flaws. Even with such a set up
    there is always the vulnerability of the remote console and the
    vulnerability of it being mimicked by a remote attack. Anything with a
    central control has the inherent weakness of the power of that control
    - which is one of the flaws that is trying to be avoided by a
    distributed firewall. Just my 2c.
