Hmmm, sounds a lot like Mandrake MNF (http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/mnf) hopes to become. . I'd love to see something like this (PHP and PERL frontend) for a FreeBSD-based wonder box. I wonder if one could take the m0n0wall project (http://m0n0.ch/wall/) and expand it for a full blown network appliance.
