RedHat 9 firewall, please help

Hi,

I just installed RedHat 9 and I enable its firewall options.

Now, I need to add something there, because I will run DNS (bind) and all users will use it as their default name server.

How and where should I edit the firewall config ?

Because if I open /etc/sysconfig/iptables , I saw this text :

# Firewall configuration written by lokkit
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
# Note: ifup-post will punch the current nameservers through the
# firewall; such entries will *not* be listed here.

It said that I should not edit that file manually.

What is the correct way to administer this RedHat 9 box ?

Thanks.
