Just a hint: unless you have dynamic behaviour in your Firehol
configuration, you don't actually *need* to run it every time you want
to apply a firewall.
You can easily use the standard iptables-{save,restore} scripts on a
Firehol generated firewall, and treat the Firehol script as a
"compiler", to apply (and then iptables-save) after you make a change to
the configuration file...

That is very true - and I do. But that doesn't change the time
required for "compilation" - which is required for every change.<br>

It also doesn't take away from my appreciation of Costa's work.<br>
