I am going to test these rules out -- this looks REALLy good! But...I've got
just ONE question: why on Earth would you permit ICMP???
And what significances are ports 50, 51, 1599, 1600 and 1601? 443 and 80 are
HTTP-S and HTTP (respectively), 123 is NTP -- I realize that, but what are
these others ports used for?

through iptables --hashlimit
I haven't tried this myself, and I don't know if it is already suggested,
but this should stop all the pesky scriptkiddies from filling up your logs.
Might prove to be a better solution, who knows:
