Bleeding liberal!  Clients don't need DNS, the bastion can do that, and 
SSH is a tunnel.

ASCII e-mail to a pre-arranged list of recipients, and from a 
pre-arranged set of hosts with two factor authentication for in *and* 
outbound traffic.  With manual release of outbound mail out-of-band 
dammit.  In fact, hell with that DNS stuff, static UUCP maps only.

Now *that's* a firewall. :)
