Well, regardless, if you're running a public server, whether it is a
firewall or behind one, there's no real difference. If you weren't
running anything publicly accessible there would be a point.

For example, i am running smtp, dns, http, https, pop3s; all accessible
to the public. In my little case it makes just as much sense to run my
firewall on my "server". If someone were to break into my network
somehow it would be the same.
