Well spotted - you are right, I see the same, so it looks like 0 is not 
the highest prio when used on filters - I shall use 1 in future.

As for affecting this test - I don't think it will make any difference 
in this case because it just affects the order that the matches get 
tested against the packets. With only 3 tests and low packets/sec it 
should makes no difference.

It's still usefull to know for other setups, though - thanks.

Andy.
