Hi,

I am from the FreeBSD/ipfilter world. I recently switched to Linux and 
netfilter. One question I have with netfilter connection tracking is whether 
there I can instruct the connection tracking to selectively tracking 
connections.

Looks to me once I loaded the conn_track modules, everything was tracked. Is 
there a way I can specify, for example, that I only want http to be tracked? 
All other traffic will be dropped anyway, tracked or not.

Regards,
Ming
