Or don't use CentOS at all and try OpenBSD & PF. The syntax is much

If you want to stick with linux look at Vyatta. I have 5 production
installs (3 physical and 3 VMs) and upgrades have been flawless. The config
resides in one file and the console has a Juniper style syntax.
On a similar vein, I use pfsense as a Firewall (FreeBSD derivative)
Has many features and Web GUI configuration. Seems to really do the
trick for me.
I tend to only use the iptables firewall in Centos for host based
firewalling (basically I only edit the INPUT table), for multi-homed
dedicated firewalls (i.e. using the FORWARD'ing table) something like
pfsense really does it nicely.
