Sounds like a good idea but I see some flaws. Even with such a set up there is always the vulnerability of the remote console and the vulnerability of it being mimicked by a remote attack. Anything with a central control has the inherent weakness of the power of that control - which is one of the flaws that is trying to be avoided by a distributed firewall. Just my 2c.
