I hate to be the "RTFM" rain on the parade, but...  Did you retrieve and 
read the FAQ and/or peruse the archives you were informed about when you 
joined the list?  It has a good summary of many of the important terms and 
concepts.

If you didn't read the message you got when you joined the list, send the 
command "info firewalls" to "majordomo @
 greatcircle .
 com" and read the reply.
