No...
But they ARE a part of a 'defense in depth' stance.  I don't want the 
elastic/evaporating perimeter to be the only thing in front of a chewy 
center.  All machines should be hardened and defended - regardless.

I got working IPChains, pf/ipf and Tiny , on every workstation.  I have a big 
FW at the edges, which in turn screens different service nets - each walled 
by protocol from my server and user segments. 

I bet you don' do it much different.

I am built the same at home...
