Subject: iptables-save ?

Hello All,

 

I am considering writing my config out in an iptables-save format rather
than my list which gets loaded in a perl script which takes a long time.

In researching the file format I see # which is a comment, but what is a :
like the below lines?

Do I need these if I have my 

-A INPUT -j CIDR-ASIAN

-A CIDR-ASIAN -s 58.14.0.0/255.254.0.0 -p tcp -j LOG --log-prefix
"SPAM-BLOCK-CIDR-ASIAN" 

-A CIDR-ASIAN -s 58.14.0.0/255.254.0.0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j DROP

 

If I do need them, does the sequence matter of when I execute my :CIDR-ASIAN
- [0:0] -vs- when I execute the above?
