I'm in on this, for three reasons:

    1) Experimenting a bit too hard, I recently canceled/corrupted my
       iptables setting, so I need to put it back ASAP

    2) I am on dialup, and need to:

        do everything on the home LAN, without restrictions

        pass only http/ftp/email from the inside to the Internet,
        nothing at all originating from outside must enter

        log all http traffic (kids in the house), blocking some sites
        and almost all banners

     3) IMNSHO, the need above is as common as thoroughly
        undocumented, so we might just as well fix it.

Some links to start with, haven't studied them yet:

        www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/ (many scripts here!)
