Re: Help with iptables rule for blocking UDP port 53

The really strange part about this is, if I remove the ACCEPT rules
that are further down in my iptables config, NO dns traffic gets
through at all, due to the final REJECT rule:

ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere           tcp
dpt:domain state NEW
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere           udp
dpt:domain state NEW
...
...
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

So iptables does seem to be able to properly recognize udp port 53
traffic, it's just not filtering correctly against the source IP
address.
