Hello, I want all traffic on port 80 be handled by a userdefined chain "CH_WWW". Now my question: What is better, this way (I let the port 80 packets jump first, then I have _two_ ESTABLISHED,RELATED rules, as well in the INPUT as in the CH_WWW chain): ******************************************************************** ${IPT} -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j CH_WWW ${IPT} -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT [..] And an extra ESTABLISHED,RELATED in the CH_WWW: ${IPT} -A CH_WWW -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT ${IPT} -A CH_WWW (first rule) [..] ******************************************************************** or this (I have _one_ ESTABLISHED,RELATED rule, and then let port 80 jump): ******************************************************************** ${IPT} -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT ${IPT} -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j CH_WWW [..] And an extra ESTABLISHED,RELATED in the CH_WWW: ${IPT} -A CH_WWW (first rule) [..] ******************************************************************** Both ways work, but I'd say the second way is the best. Am I right? Richard. -- ___________________________________________________________________ Recursion: see recursion +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht | | Public key and email address: | | http://www.lucassen.org/mail-pubkey.html | +------------------------------------------------------------------+
