It looks like a DNS problem. I am not to sure if iptables likes host names it cannot resolve to an IP. Maybe try an IP or put the test.host in your /etc/hosts directory.
Hope this helps

Subject: Incomming packets
Hello:
I'm trying to set a rule in my iptables configuration to accept incomming connections from an specific host, (ie. iptables -A input -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 21 -s test.host -j ACCEPT ) and I keep getting the error:
iptables v1.2.6a: host/network `test.host' not found
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
Does anyone know about it?
Thanks
