[gentoo-user] iptables: how can I include multiple hosts/IPs in "-s" and "-d"?

Hi I'd like to ask if there is some way to include multiple discrete hosts/IP's in --source and --destination options of iptables. I'm trying to write firewall rules for my server, but it has 12 IP's from different segments (and maybe it gets a few more later), and the script grows up as I have

Re: [gentoo-user] Forcing X.org video driver without xorg.config
