[CentOS] question on lokkit

I am wanting to pass arguments to lokkit to set up the iptables config file with an entry like this: ( i dont want to manually edit it - I want to do it automatically)

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 10000:20000 -j ACCEPT

I have a small script file that has in it the ports I want enabled, like: ------------------- PORT_SSH="--port=22:tcp" PORT_HTTP="--port=http:tcp"

/usr/sbin/lokkit -q --high --dhcp -t lo -t eth0 -t eth1 $PORT_SSH $PORT_HTTP -------------------

I want to add another line to enable ports 10000 - 20000. however the ":tdp" or ":udp" conflict with 10000:20000.

I tried useing something like "10000,20000:udp" but did not work.

THanks for any suggestions.
