    Hi

    I have a questiong regarding iptables. I have a firewall running
    iptables with a lot of hosts. And to simplify the policy i have
    created a group in which i've put all the hosts, and put a group in a
    rule.

    My question is how does the iptables engine reads the rules? Will i
    gain anything in terms of performance if i define every single host
    directly in the rule?

    Best Regards
    Eduardo Campos
