I would image that having userdefined chains allows for better ogranization of your rules. Escpecially if you have a compicated ruleset. (multiple subnets and DMZ etc. etc.) I don't use any custom chains as my ruleset is pretty simple. The LOG chain is a good idea and makes it easy to edit if you want to change anything. I would suggest that you run your ruleset the way that works best for you. Cheers, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
