Thanks for the hint. I'll need to study that.

Unless I use shorewall-lite, I presume. In that case, reloading should
be blazing fast... ;-)

I will definitely go that route, or at least try to.

Tom, you don't know how glad I am to see that you're still sticking around.

Big thanks to the other users too who pitch in with their useful insights.
