    <title>Description</title>

    <para>This file is used to perform zone-specific blacklisting and
    whitelisting.</para>

    <para>Rules in this file are applied depending on the setting of
    BLACKLISTNEWONLY in <ulink
    url="/manpages6/shorewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink>(5). If
    BLACKLISTNEWONLY=No, then they are applied regardless of the connection
    tracking state of the packet. If BLACKLISTNEWONLY=Yes, they are applied to
    connections in the NEW and INVALID states.</para>

    <para>The format of rules in this file is the same as the format of rules
    in <ulink
    url="/manpages6/shorewall6-rules.html">shorewall6-rules</ulink>(5). The
    difference in the two files lies in the ACTION (first) column.</para>
