A firewall monitor is what you are really needing. The problem with monitoring firewall rules is that there are so many of them. As an example; if you have a rule with 2 sources, 2 destinations and 2 ports the firewall actually creates 8 rules for that even though you only created one.
One of the other very nice features about a firewall monitor is it can tell you about unused items in any rule or unused rules. Check out FireMon and it's competitors.
