If not have a glance at http://www.googgun.com/iptables-xml/. Would there be interest in bundling it into the iptables userland tools? When you deliberate on whether or not to include a "new feature" like this into iptables do remember that while it is a _new_ feature, it isn't modifying any code of any existing tools or libraries, nor does the tool require any external libraries or components other than those required by iptables itself, it is quite standalone and production grade and won't interfere with any of the mainline pieces. Everyone, I am also hoping for some feedback on the proposed XML so i can finalize a formal DTD/xsd, as well as create an XSLT template that does the reverse a la iptables-restore, so do drop me a note to let me know what you think (both positives and negatives because the comparison helps). Cheers, Ahmed.
