Of course, you know that I tried:

        SILENT_DENY="88_x.y.z.158_65535"

which did *NOT* work -- and, I blindly assumed that SILENT_DENY could
not work for this scenario ;>

Again, the laugh is on me!

Anyway, yes, your solution works perfectly -- thank you !!!

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
