Or perhaps they are only considered internal?

FW_TRUSTED_NETS allows certain IP addresses (or ranges) access to services or specific ports on the firewall machine. For example, if you were to consider me to be sufficiently trustworthy to be able to access the ssh port on your firewall, you would use FW_TRUSTED_NETS="158.152.222.17/32,tcp,22" Or if you trusted me enough to allow access to every port, FW_TRUSTED_NETS="158.152.222.17/32" etc. For more info/syntax, read the comments in the firewall2.rc.config.
