You can of course provide a list of dport/sport's as an array - however I normally associate a firewall port being opened with a particular class/app and have the firewall definition defined there, then by including the class you get the open port. For example, my mysql module would open port 3306. > * The documentation says that the number should be between 000..999. > However, I made my post.pp deny rule as 99999 so that I could make the > number the port (makes sense to me and help track which port is for what > purpose; I made it that high because one app has port 27000).

Yeah, it was made up - or at least, it was an old range that was changed later on. > Also, a semi-related question since I am posting the configs...Did I do it > right? :-D It works for my test cases so far.
