Hi

Thanks for the explanation on ipset status

:-)

What, an update every 2 weeks or so! Come on, shorewall is matching that
right now! (and thanks for such rapid development!)

Hmm, I see your point.  Mac is not necessarily known for the dest, so
it's not possible to match.  An incomplete implementation would be
possible to match source on [IP,Mac] and dest on [IP], but that's not
supported by ipset...

OK, will use explicit ipsets everywhere, plus perhaps some use of params
to tidy things up

Thanks!
