Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2003 9:07 pm Post subject: why iptables-{save,restore}?

What is the rational for /etc/init.d/iptables to use

Code:

iptables-restore -c < ${IPTABLES_SAVE}

rather than explicit rules?
Is it for efficiency startup time?

Is there a more 'conservative' style of /etc/init.d/iptables
that reads rules-set from /etc/conf.d/...
and executes them without relying on pre 'manual' iptables calls
with iptables-save?
