The -n option is a bad idea.  There is a possibility that an attacker 
could notice that for every blocked packet a DNS request is sent out by 
the firewall. Remove the -n option and your firewall becomes stealthier.

Instead, use plog, from http://www.antibozo.net/ogata/webtools/plog.txt 
or http://pobox.com/~ogata/webtools/plog.txt.
