I note that it would be simpler to have one such rule for RELATED,ESTABLISHED but that's not the way we've done things here, much to Noel's disgust. :)

We've blocked everything, including OUTPUT, by default. There are no general SNAT rules or MASQUERADE. We've tried to allow only the bare minimum required for two-way traffic between a small set of host/port combinations. This has led to some unnecessary duplication of ESTABLISHED rules, and I didn't appreciate that RELATED traffic is what the 'REJECT with TCP-Reset' traffic is classed as but otherwise it makes (some) sense and does work.

Kind regards
Matt
