For those of you who don't receive the  Bruce Schneier's CRYPTO-GRAM
newsletter, this link is from the current edition. It's titled "A
Quantitative Study of Firewall Configuration Errors"

http://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~yash/computer2004.pdf

It gives one way of determing how complex your firewall configuration is and
discusses common misconfigurations in Check Point firewalls. The article is
recent but the data is from a small study done in 2000-2001 so the majority
of the firewalls analyzed are v4.1. I think the points it raises are still
valid particularly if upgrades were performed from an earlier version to the
current versions.
