To be fussy, 'any' applies to addresses; 'ip' or 'all' is what's needed here:

     protocol: [not] protocol-name | protocol-number
             An IPv4 protocol specified by number or name (for a complete list
             see /etc/protocols).  The ip or all keywords mean any protocol
             will match.

cheers, Ian
