My first reaction is to make an explicit rule with a SPECIAL_NET variable to alert on, but then create a pass rule for anything other then the SPECIAL_NET group.
This would work fine for rule-based alerts. However, Tim's issue was that he was getting unwanted http_inspect preprocessor alerts. We talked this over off-list to figure out the specific issue. The end result was to add no_alerts to the "default" profile and add "server" entries for any webservers/proxies (which he already did). In this setup, http_inspect won't generate preprocessor alerts for local->internet (but still normalizes). ..and on that note, in the Near Future (tm) we'll be adding the ability for users to define servers with netmasks. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
