Hi Jakub,

Thanks for the fast reply. I have others conf files, each one to a
different device type that I include on main configuration (just for
organization), all confs are based on "host" filter.

The source is a tcp class on my main configuration, if you judge necessary
I can send the others confs, but on none of then i put this ip address on
filters.
