On this same note:  Is there currently a way to add DROP rules to the VR
firewall?  I know you can add a default allow egress policy and block
specific things, but that doesn't help for incoming threats.

For instance if you want to allow public access to a web server (port 80),
but want to block a particular attackers IP or subnet.  Right now you have
to set up a second level firewall on the VM itself for this.

Would it be feasible to add a "Deny" option to the firewall API?
