Not knowing a lot about firewalls, I'll stick with "it's good for you"
as my final answer.  No, I just have a single subnet.  But I don't have
much confidence that the hardware firewall on my very old nat router is
impervious to attacks from the "outside".  So, my intention with that
ubuntu firewall was to simply limit the number of ports that were open
and to only accept traffic on those ports from the local subnet.  This
is dubious logic, I know, but what's the alternative?
