Is there a firewall program that reads and writes firewall rules using
iptables?  By this I mean that it uses the rules stored in netfilter,
and doesn't first store rules in its own memory and then translate those
into iptables commands.  This would allow it to see any rule changes
made by external programs that run iptables commands.

Thanks for your help.

Apologies if this is a duplicate.
