# SILENT_DENY="ProtoNumber_SourceAddress/Netmask_DestinationPort"
Try:  SILENT_DENY="udp_10.8.238.1_68" 
                   -or-
       SILENT_DENY="17_10.8.238.1_68"
                   -or  drop the destination port altogether-
       SILENT_DENY="all_10.8.238.1"

The last field is the destination port rather than the sender's port and
you don't have to designate it at all if you don't want to.

Hope this helps,
