How to specify a number of IP addresses in a single statement?



When creating iptables rules, one typically refers either to an
interface:

-i eth0

or to an IP address:

-s 10.1.1.5

or to an IP net/mask:

-d 192.168.0.0/24

But how does one refer to a list of different IP addresses (e.g. a more
general version of "-s 10.1.1.5")?  Is this possible without writing
multiple rules?

I wish to introduce a rule to only allow SSH access to the firewall from
three different IPs on the internal network and have only found this way
to do it so far:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.1.5 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.1.11 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.1.20 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT [...] (the corresponding rule for related traffic)

The experiment:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.1.1.5,10.1.1.11,10.1.1.20 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

does not work ("host/network not found").

Is there a proper syntax for this?

Cheers,

Dave.
