I do not quite understand the problem. Did you renumber your network  
so the addresses of these interfaces have changed on the actual  
machines ? Then yes, you need to revisit objects in fwbuilder and put  
new addresses in.

alternatively you can use DNSName objects instead of IPAddress or  
Host objects and let compiler resolve names of these objects into  
addresses every time it compiles the policy. Or even mark DNSName  
objects as "run-time" to generate iptables script that will resolve  
their addresses when it is executed.
