Hi Shawn,

Although I have never come across a doc that specifically states these
details, from experience the Reset-O is logged when a tcp reset is received
on the lower security level interface classed as outside, and Reset-I is
logged when recieved on the higher level interface (inside).

Now what happens when the two interfaces are the same security level, with
permit inter-interface enabled, is the interesting one and unfortunately one
I'm not 100% sure on :)
