Yeah.  The more I thought about it, the more I wondered what the
use-case for the maclist file was given that the rules file could handle
it -- or so it seemed at first glance.

Hrm.  Well, generally, it's an all-or-none.  Some hosts are allowed all
outbound (i.e. forward) traffic they care to send, others are allowed
none (but should be allowed to do OSPF *to* the firewall).  But yeah,
rules file seems like a better option.
