Oddly enough it stops working if I remove all the rules for OPT1. I have 
to add the default LAN net any port any proto any destination rule for 
it to work.

However its not a problem, I might as well add rules to both just to be 
sure.

I'm more concerned about the rules at the WAN interface anyway.

Thanks
