Hi MMcD,
Thanks for the quick responce. I was looking at a document speaking about how firewall filters are evaluated, which said they all need to match, but other documents such as the one you posted state any match will do.
here is the document I speak of:
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos9.4/topics/concept/firewall-filter-ex-series-evaluation-understanding.html
at the top, point #2 states "If the packet matches all the conditions in the term...." which was the source of my confusion.
I now see this document is for the EX switches, but it is junOS, which the SRX also runs. I'm new to Juniper land, forgive me. 😎
