Just reminded me I planned to write a message yesturday and mention, I
got the idea to use the new notation to consolidate the prioritizing
rules for both NTP and DNS which currently is a seperate rule for
outgoing queries and for outgoing replies from the local servers
figuring less rules being easier to read and for iptables to process. 
Didn't consider it would be an issue until running shorewall check and
it complained the = was unexpected.  I'm guessing that it was simply not
intended to be used in the tcrules file as there was no other error
messages to indicate that I broke anything, just wanted to mention it as
without checking the finalized documentation I can't be certain whether
you meant that to work or not and I figured waiting on that could well
be leaving it too late.
