That's how I have compiled a 10 page DOM model of iptables basic command structure; and its only getting bigger. As you can see, this is no easy undertaking. I am just looking for some documentation that may make it easier. Everthing I have already developed has been based on the man page and personal experience. Not to mention, the man pages don't give reference to semantics and/or structure requirements of a given rule. Thomas
