Yup; that would qualify as "large enough holes in your firewall to drive
a Mack truck though it".  At least.  (Was it your intent to provide an
example of what Cy wrote...?)

Actually, if you want all UDP to flow unhindered, why bother with a
"firewall"??!?  (OK; there could be some reasons -- like just tracking
usage, to using dummynet facilities... but calling the result a
"firewall" isn't very useful.)

Cheers,
