'Most', yes. But 'most' is not really all that re-assuring. For what
it does, it's great, but there are some things it can't handle. For
instance, you want to run  named as a local, caching server only. And
nobody from outside is to access it. You can do this with ipchains,
but not port sentry. Port sentry is kind of all or none.
