I use a straightforward tunnel to open access to port 80 on a per IP basis.

So I have an alias for a range of addresses and then a tunnel - example for one like 
shown:

Alias
-------
nn     EXTERNAL             nnn.nnn.nnn.115  255.255.255.255

Filter
--------
nn     TCP       nnn.nnn.nnn.115  80     yyy.yyy.yyy.115    80     filter

This works a treat, and restricts the ports to just that names (i.e. 80).

However, I have been asked to block an address range for all port 80 access, so I 
created an object as follows:

 3      Blocked80_List - Addresses Blocked By Firewall
              Index  Type   Beginning        Ending         
              -----  -----  ---------------  ---------------
              1      host   nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (bad guy)

And I set this in the filters to prevent the blocked list from access as below - but 
it does not seem to have any effect.

     9 #Blocked List Filter
       Deny   "EXTERNAL" ALL  log
          from "Blocked_List"
            to "ANY_IP"

What am I doing wrong? Any clues, or is the failure because the tunnel is processed in 
such a way that the filter is not invoked (order of processing).

Thanks in advance to the group for any help. 
Long may the group continue - some invaluable stuff comes through - even though I may 
not be using the features (YET!).
