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.)
