I recently had to make a firewall, simular as well, no NAT as I wanted it to do some routing as well for a almost physically seperated network (except specific ports via the firewall).
I found fwbuilder to be the easiest solution, and would recommend it. If you've used other commercial firewalls such as Raptor/Symantec Ent. Firewall this will come very easy. The utility creates scripts using a excellent, intuitive interface.
With very little linux firewall experience (just running a script created by a friend years in the past) I was able to put together the solution I needed.
I second this... If YAST firewall scripts are getting too complex, the switch to firewall builder. It's part of my standard SuSE installation since 8.0 (or was it 8.2?) Jerry
