+ok, here is where we do some fun stuff.  First off we need to see the currently
+running iptables (sans the fail2ban) and compare with the database.  This is
+the method that is good for multi servers and keeping the firewall read only so
+a comromised box will not corrupt the master server.
+
+If the running iptables and the new iptables don't match, lets send a note to 
+the monitoring data to say that there is a difference.  Maybe we can have the
+iptables gui inteface check the data field for changes and post a warning and
+or the changes as disabled rules.  If an admin adds a rule on the comand line
+we should make it easy to add to the database, but hard to overwrite the data.
+
+1.
+So first is a reading of the current rules by filter:table with our friend awk
+
+2.
+Compare with database
+
+3.
+Send notices or updates
+
+4.
+Apply rules from database
+
+5.
+Preform some type of sainity check like the apache restart script
+
+6.
+Profit
+
+# automate this with a loop, but here it is for santity sake.
+exec('iptables -S INPUT');
+exec('iptables -S OUTPUT');
+exec('iptables -S FORWARD');
+
+$data['new'] should have lots of fun stuff
+exec('iptables -I XYZ');
