Shorewall users - Nov 2014 - shoregen or something similar to manage multiple firewalls

Hello,

Ive stumbled across shoregen via:
http://sourceforge.net/p/shorewall/contrib/ci/master/tree/

I see last code changes were made in 2009. Is this still the way to go 
or is there a newer version / other tool that does the same?

I had to make a couple of changes in shoregen to work with the newer 
keywords in the config files like "SECTION" / "?FORMAT" /
"$FW".

However it doesnt work so well with the sections, one would have to 
merge the sections from the global rules file and a rules.machine 
specific file before writing it to the new rules file.

How are you guys managing multiple similar firewalls on a company level?

Any feedback or advice appreciated!

Kind Regards
Francois Steyn
