home_net question

["Basil Saragoza" <snortlst () hotmail com>]

I try to figure out what is the meaning of home_net. FAQ says it is a
network that I'm defending.
Is that a logical definition (home_net) or does it make some practical
sense?
For example I can set home_net to:
1. address range of my lan
2. eth0_ADDRESS
3. address of my firewall only.
I actually tried all of them and didn't notice real difference...
