His question is about a detail of the -d parameter; in this case,
www.microsoft.com is an alias shared by a half-dozen servers, and it's not
obvious how this works with the "/32" syntax. Does ipchains "properly"
expand the parameter, or does it just block the first of the aliases that it
sees when it resolves the name.
