For most common rules, it's probably easier to put everything under one section. Most people feel this gives them a good mental picture of what's happening, and makes whitelisting straightforward. Some folks visualize it better splitting it up. That's OK too. More care must be taken with whitelisting when you use multiple sections. It's possible to do more complex rules when splitting up the sections, but this is seldom a requirement. > > ======== > > Just to make sure I am think correctly Close enough. -- Noel Jones
