Issue

  • Is it possible to use multiple files to configure iptables rules?
  • Can we split the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file into two and let the iptables script source the rules from two file?
  • The use-case is to have some rules that are constant for all systems, and have another which change per the service installed on the system.
