As in using ipfw via Water Roof for instance?

WaterRoof is simply a front end to Apple's firewall, ipfw.
Yes, my preceding sentence indicated that, I believe.

I don't want to be overly paranoid, but the 10.5 firewall just doesn't
leave me particularly comfortable due to its lack of configuration
options. And no, I'm not sure why that bothers me, maybe I just like
buttons and menus.
Maybe saying that I like buttons and menus was too flip. Hey, Apple
shipped 10.5 with the firewall OFF by default, for crying out loud! Then
there's not a lot of visual feedback to tell me what's going on with the
few options that are there.

I don't mind delving into the inner workings of either solution. Will
one get in the way of the other? I'm sure things are working, however is
there any gain to be had by using both?
