Rule Ordering

[Paul Caritj <pcaritj@riovia.net>]

Gents,

I know the answer to this question is already well documented, but I 
need to ask anyway because iptables never behaves the way I expect it to 
in this regard; How, exactly, does rule ordering work for rules added 
through the iptables userspace tool?

For example, say I have a bunch of rules that will be coming and going 
on a very frequent basis, but I have one that I need to keep last in the 
evaluation sequence. A that I would just add the rule that needs to stay 
last with "-A" and all the others with "-I"?

I like to give you guys an easy one once in a while ;)
