In terms of performance and when a packet is dropped or denied,
what's best to use? iptables or hosts.deny ? Let's assume for a moment
here that one has a very long list of IP ranges that are being blocked,
would using iptables to deny the ranges work better/faster than having
hosts.deny block them? Just wondering ...
