is littlesnitch + built in leopard firewall + router firewall too redundant?

[meh]

bit confused on how to go

I have a zyxel router with a built in firewall

Probably, but who cares. Little snitch is great and a router firewall is the best.

Because if you want to change any settings, you have to change it in 3 places.

All of these three do different things.

LittleSnitch blocks outgoing connections, and your router blocks incoming connections.

Leopard's firewall really isn't needed unless you're using a laptop on a public network, then it takes the place of your router's network.

So, unless you're using a laptop, turn off Leopard's firewall and use the other two.

it's my iMac
so I'll turn off the leopard firewall

thanks for the help
