Dear Ryan.
>>> iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP1-j DROP
>>> iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP1 -j DROP
>>> iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP2 -j DROP
>>> iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP2 -j DROP

That's what I am doing, too. Just wondered if there is a way to
combile parameters with a logical OR.
Thanks
