Hi,
I'd be very interested in knowing about a config utility for iptables.
I've got two boxes, primary and secondary nameservers running bind9 that
iptables when running does not allow zone queries and i'm getting flickering
timeouts. I'm also getting a new CentOS box within the next 1 to two weeks
that will be a dedicated mail server, ms-mta-sa-the works and i'd like to
not have to fight the firewall.
Thanks.
Dave.
