No, unfortunately that does not work.
But why not? I thought you could add custom rules to SuSEfirewall2 via an include file - see question 25 in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2. You just create a file, write in your custom rules and tell SuSEfirewall2 where the file is. Unless the actual rule itself isn't correctly formulated, of course, in which case it will never work. If SuSE's firewall is really this limited - hard to believe but possible, I guess - then maybe it's time to look at another solution. An extremely good one I use on another distro is Shorewall (now often called Shoreline). :) Fish
