iptables is a first-match wins firewall.  The rule above that mentions the 
82.201.195.123 will accept all traffic from that IP address.  The rule 
below it seems a little vague.  I might change that to:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp -i eth0 -d 62.139.61.84 --dport 22 -j 
REJECT

Hope this helps.
