      <para>In addition to those applications described in the

      services/applications that you may need to configure your firewall to

    <title>Important Notes</title>

    <note>
      <para>Shorewall distribution contains a library of user-defined macros
      that allow for easily allowing or blocking a particular application.
      <command>ls <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/</filename>macro.*</command>
      for the list of macros in your distribution. If you find what you need,
      you simply use the macro in a rule. For example, to allow DNS queries
      from the <emphasis role="bold">dmz</emphasis> zone to the <emphasis
      role="bold">net</emphasis> zone:</para>

      <programlisting>#ACTION         SOURCE        DEST
DNS(ACCEPT)     dmz           net</programlisting>
    </note>

    <note>
      <para>In the rules that are shown in this document, the ACTION is shown
      as ACCEPT. You may need to use DNAT (see <ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq30">FAQ
      30</ulink>) or you may want DROP or REJECT if you are trying to block
      the application.</para>

      <para>Example: You want to port forward FTP from the net to your server
      at 192.168.1.4 in your DMZ. The FTP section below gives you:</para>

      <programlisting>#ACTION        SOURCE    DEST             PROTO      DPORT
FTP(ACCEPT)    <emphasis>&lt;source&gt;</emphasis>  <emphasis>&lt;destination&gt;</emphasis></programlisting>

      <para>You would code your rule as follows:</para>

      <programlisting>#ACTION        SOURCE    DESTINATION      PROTO      DPORT
FTP(DNAT)       net       dmz:192.168.1.4  </programlisting>

    <caution>
      <para><emphasis role="bold"><emphasis>This rule assumes that your
      BitTorrent client listens on the default

    <programlisting>#ACTION          SOURCE    DESTINATION      PROTO      DPORT
DNS(ACCEPT)    <emphasis>  &lt;source&gt;</emphasis>  <emphasis>&lt;destination&gt;</emphasis>    </programlisting>

    <para>Note that if you are setting up a DNS server that supports recursive
    resolution, the server is the &lt;<emphasis>destination</emphasis>&gt; for
    resolution requests (from clients) and is also the
    &lt;<emphasis>source</emphasis>&gt; of recursive resolution requests
    (usually to other servers in the 'net' zone). So for example, if you have
    a public DNS server in your DMZ that supports recursive resolution for
    local clients then you would need:</para>

    <programlisting>#ACTION     SOURCE    DESTINATION      PROTO      DPORT
DNS(ACCEPT) all       dmz              
DNS(ACCEPT) dmz       net              </programlisting>

    <note>
      <para>Recursive Resolution means that if the server itself can't resolve
      the name presented to it, the server will attempt to resolve the name
      with the help of other servers.</para>
