The services table will have a few hundred rows, but that's nothing in RDBMS
terms; and the log table will obviously have lots, but that's really only
for debugging.
The alternatives are:
a) store them in the filesystem, which creates permissions issues;
b) write the iptables shell script, which requires complex parsers; or
c) talk directly to iptables, which would be kindy dodgy imho.
I'm open to suggestion though, simpler the better as far as I'm concerned.
