I think the support of the subnet should be part of address object or address 
book object. We should not eliminate the possibility to run firewall as an 
add-on service on top of a virtual router. As matter fact, there are many VM 
based firewall providing certain level of routing service anyway. And such a 
firewall should be able to use the router interfaces to construct the zone 
concept. With both address object and zone, we should be able to support the 
most of requirements.
