These diffs are against the rc.firewall in -current.

I believe the existing rules say:

	allow anybody from the outside who sends from port 53 or 123 to
	send UDP packets to anyplace on our net

If this is true, we should tighten it up ro only permit outsiders to
reach *our* DNS and NTP ports with UDP.

These diffs *are intended* do the job...

Would somebody please review these and, if appropriate, commit the
changes?

Thanks...
