      How would you go about enforcing config changes (fw rules for example) on multiple firewalls? Let's say that there are a lot of them. More than you could configure by going "clickety-click" in webgui. Good thing: the routers are mostly identical.

      I've been using Puppet to manage linux routers, but I don't think this is an option with pfSense?

      Is there a usable CLI to run over SSH (from scripts)? Is it possible to import configuration (xml) from command line?
      Is there some kind of api in webui?

        there is no complete CLI (yet)
        there is no API (yet)
        both are in the pipeline for the (distant) future.

        It is possible to import/replace/adjust the xml from command line.
