I was able to set up shorewall in combination with a few perl scripts to 
let me easily drop and allow my daughters' machines from accessing the 
internet (they are 7 and 10 years old). I used "shorewall drop/allow 
dynamic". However, now I want their machines to be able to still connect 
to the household firewall itself, even when they are on the dynamic 
blacklist. I tried adding to the blrules file

WHITELIST       loc:10.0.0.0/24    $FW

but that does not appear to work. I read the documentation about 
blacklisting/whitelisting that I could find but could not see an obvious 
solution.

I was able to get it to work by manually running iptables -I commands, 
but that only works until shorewall restarts.

Thanks,
  - Alex
