My host has 2NICs, and I want to allow only certain
things OUT on one of the NICs and leave the other NIC
is un-restricted.

The unrestricted NIC is 192.168.4.10 with subnet mask
255.255.255.0. This is working, using the
rule "localnet1"

The restricted NIC is 192.168.101.100, and I want to
ALLOW only access to any other port 80. I try this via
rule "net2web", but this rule is never matched.

Excerpt of my rules:

localnet1: ALLOW * * FROM SELF to 192.168.4.0/24
NOLOG
net2web: ALLOW * * FROM 192.168.101.10 to ANY:80

My default gateway is 192.168.101.1, so all external
traffic attempts to go out NIC2. But the output from the
debug on all attempts is:
DENY [default] TCP OUT 192.168.101.100:2276
207.68.173.254:80

So it seems that I'm not matching any rules, since the
line starts with DENY [default]. I've tried many different
things for the from part, but I only get a match when I
use SELF, where SELF=0.0.0.0/0.

[I think this is related to bug # 1176529, but worse. I am
not using application rules]

Thanks for your time. I'm impressed with this program.
It seems to have enough flexibility and it is running very
well on my old, slow equipment.

    Sorry about typo in my description. The net2web rule should
    read:

    net2web: ALLOW * * FROM 192.168.101.100 to ANY:80
