Fedora Users — iptables and static routing..

1 - I have made three rules for the INPUT chain of the filter table using iptables command. But when I do iptables –L, it takes some time to list the first and second rule for the network. Can some one please tell why is that so? It even takes time to login to the system because of this. Does that mean that there is some thing wrong with the firewall rules I set? Note that if I turn the interface to the network down, the problem is solved.

2 – When I do ifup eth1 or reboot that system, it brings up my interface but also sets unwanted/undesirable routing paths in the routing table. I have to manually delete them and then set the appropriate routing tables manually.

How can I stop the system from setting the routing information automatically (while the system is booting or I am manually bringing up the interfaces after boot). I know that I can use the /etc/sysconfig/static-route file for static routes, but the system should not set the default routes in the first place. Because of this default feature, I have to first delete a route and then add some routes.
