Let me be gentle about this.  Why were you allowing 80/udp and 443/udp 
in the first place into your production environment?

In my network, I run a mostly-closed firewall, only allowing those ports 
that are needed to be forwarded between the inside and outside networks.

I don't have -- or need -- a DMZ here at this time, so I don't have to 
worry about that side of the routing triangle.  If I did, I would also 
run mostly closed between inside/outside and the DMZ.

I'm liberal about opening ports on request, but the ports have to be 
requested before I'll allow them in, out, or forwarded.
