Firewalls are only as good as the configuration given them by the administrator.  Rule order, precedence, and options all affect the performance and security of a firewall.  There are many applications available that will allow easier management of firewall rules.  This page includes text and GUI interfaces to text-based rule firewalls, or applications that manage rule sets across multiple platforms.  This page also lists firewall rule testing software and websites.
