I highly recommend that instead of just using an implicit "deny all" policy,
that you add a "deny all and log" rule at the end of your chains -- that
way you'll get a log of what's getting denied.  Makes life much easier.
You'll probably find that you need to add some "deny but don't log" rules
for dumping garbage like Windows boxes trying to call the mother ship and
all though.
