I also thought that the whole points of having Zones etc, was so that
we could pick a different zone per network connection,
so if I'm in the office or at home I can say use this zone, if I'm
at a coffee shop I can pick a different one etc.
Or was this consider too much UI for the normal user? Surely
OSX has something to copy from, since they seem to define what
a normal user expects.
