Let me be gentle about this. Why were you allowing 80/udp and 443/udp in the first place into your production environment? In my network, I run a mostly-closed firewall, only allowing those ports that are needed to be forwarded between the inside and outside networks. I don't have -- or need -- a DMZ here at this time, so I don't have to worry about that side of the routing triangle. If I did, I would also run mostly closed between inside/outside and the DMZ. I'm liberal about opening ports on request, but the ports have to be requested before I'll allow them in, out, or forwarded.
