I always have a firewall on a local machine as well as the network run
firewall, maybe you should consider this.  I also have a management
interface on all boxes and ssh and any backup and monitoring daemons are
bound to this interface. You could also look at removing the default route
on the box and just putting in the static routes it needs. Any internet
bound traffic you need (os updates etc) can go via a proxy. Simalarly with
mysql only bind it to the required interface. These interfaces can of
course be vlan ones and need not be physical
