I don't understand your question.  Are you using ipchains or iptables
(kernel 2.2 or 2.4)?  Are you planning on accepting some packets and
dropping all the rest, or just dropping everything no matter what
(that seems not very useful).  By "deny" do you mean REJECT or DROP?
In any case, I _think_ the answer to your question has something to do
with making the default policy DROP (but I'm not sure).

Once again, the random sig guy strikes gold :-)
