      I believe it does, but I use it just in case :)

Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the quick response…my last little bit is, I was under the 
impression that the message() directive automatically assumed the value 
was already in the message only, and value() wasn’t required?  Am I off on 
this?  Thanks again.

James

Hey all! 

Real quick…trying to filter OUT firewall hits that have say…169.254.  Will 
this do the trick? 

filter f_firewall { 
        not program (firewall flags(ignore-case)); 
        and not message("169\.254\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"); 
}; 

Thanks all. 

James
