The behaviour is the same, although will mean if you change IP addresses
it's another list to fix (and one you might forget..) To me, the name of the
interface is better associated with it's purpose, than the IP address. YMMV.


Note that there are no equivilents of -V in ipchains (2.2.x kernel) or
netfilter (2.4.x kernel). So it's probably a good habit to get into :)
