Hi all,

watchgguard rules does not follow checkpoints top down
approach.

Instead, it acts on the packet such that the most specific
rules will have greater precedence over the more general
rules.

e.g. if there's 2 rules.

* Any   Any Deny FTP 
* host1 Any Permit FTP

The sequence of the rules does not matter.
Although one of the rules says deny ftp from any to any,
the second rule will still allow host1 to ftp to any.

Rgds,

Simon
