Hi,

For you gurus this might be superfluous but for the lambda user a tool which 
given an input packet (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:tcp:25) and a set of rules, show how 
the packet goes from one rule to the other and finally make it to it's 
destination , gets tansformed or dropped.

This would help enormously in understanding how this stuff works (no it's not 
that obvious) and I also think it would be a great help when adding rules.

Does such a utility exist?

Cheers, Nadim.
