Description

Spotted while adjusting the firewall configuration for the -joyent- systems. It appears we have a number of entries in the firewall configuration for machines that no longer exist. For example the test-joyent-alpine* systems. We should go through the firewall configuration and ensure there are no extra entries creating holes that are not required for our CI.

Research direction

Start by locating the firewall configuration used by ci.nodejs.org and inventory the entries for the -joyent- systems, including the test-joyent-alpine* systems mentioned here. Compare those entries with the machines that still exist; done means obsolete rules are removed without retaining unnecessary firewall holes.
