Remember to compile the userspace part: iptables, too.

Anyway the FAQ entry is about netfilter not being the best tool for it as
it is a packet filter not a content filter. eg. It will let through
fragmented http requests with nimda and friends. Squid would be better for
that as it operates on an aplication layer.

It is just a reminder.

Oh, and i belive it is better to reject with tcp-reset than drop
if you are using the string match. This will make the connecting host
bugger off faster and will avoid retransmissions (and log clutter too)
