Once upon a time Mark Radabaugh shaped the electrons to say...
>internet.in 7 permit 0.0.0.0/0 ftp.woodville.net/26 tcp dst eq 21
>I am a little confused by rule 7. Why do you need to specify a netmask when
>ftp.woodville.net will return 209.57.124.2 from the DNS?

because ftp.woodville.net/26 becomes 209.57.124.2/26 then. Using a name
DOES NOT limit to that machine alone - it is the same as using that machines
IP.

If you meant to limit it to that one machine you should be using /32
