It just dawned on me that maybe we do not need a tool for users to
draw diagrams. What we need is say 5-10 reference diagrams posted on the
gentoo wiki.  Users can refer to the specific diagrams that mimics their
specific case as they formulate  and post their questions to the 
gentoo user mailing list. That way, only a small collection of diagrams
would have to appear on the gentoo wiki (or some place else if the g_devs
do not like the idea of network reference diagrams on their wiki)?


Furthermore, if the iptables and other code snippets are modularly designed,
one can use the components to create the firewall or bridge device
configurations.
