viewing rules and traffic while inserting/removing rules

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,
I have quite a large list of blacklisted networks in my iptables firewall, approx. 20,000. Now I have a script that updates this blacklist according to my needs every hour. My problem now is that during the update period (which consists of several iptables [-I|-D] $CHAIN -s ... -j ... commands) my traffic accounting is going haywire. I have narrowed it down to the problem that displaying the rules (from which I extract the traffic information via iptables -xvnL $CHAIN) intermittently shows 0s (zeroes) as paket and byte counters while the insert/delete commands are being issued.
Is there a locking problem? Should I maybe report this to the devel list?
Regards,
Marc
