I added a rule to accept connections from 192.168.1.135/24, since my router is configured to hand out /24 addresses. Then, iptables -L -v showed that connections from 192.168.1.0/24 are accepted. When I change the rule to accept connections from .135/32 - or from .135 without specifying the subnet -, it not only works as intended, but it also resolves the hostname correctly.

Why?

unsolicited “why do you still use iptables” advice not welcome :D

    Tomorrow, at work, I’m gonna brag about what I have learned here today, until my colleagues’ ears fall off.

    Thanks again! :)
