Hi,

I added a rule : iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 24.221.202.36 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

and when I list the iptables I see:  

ACCEPT     tcp  --  24-221-202-36.pools.static.spcsdns.net  anywhere            tcp dpt:ici

Are the below two rules the same?

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 24.221.202.36 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 24-221-202-36.pools.static.spcsdns.net --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

in other words can I use 24-221-202-36.pools.static.spcsdns.net in place of the IP?

Also I do not see the port when I issue iptables -L ?  How can I sell if the rule applies to a specific port?

Thanks!
