That's also the basis of my script which Alexander has provided the link
to(it works quite nicely actually). Only thing is, it's integrated with
shorewall (which Incidently is also included in the FC2 install)

BTw, if anyone's using Shorewall, please upgrade to the Newer version,
there's a _flaw_ in the 1.4 version.

BTW, anyone knows when the change will come upstream to fedora.us? (or
is it already?)
