I'll leave someone else to respond to the log analysis.  There are many
tools available for rule creation and management.  You can find
references to them in the archives.  For specific rule configuration,
many use fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org).  Tom Eastep has done
great work with Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net).  If your looking
for something for very large, complex configurations such as defense in
depth in internal networks, you can look at the ISCS project
(http://iscs.sourceforge.net) which has recently received a shot in the
arm with an influx of new developers and even a major production
deployment.  Hope that helps - John
