Is it safe to say that that best placement for pass rules would be local.rules file? (Meaning later rule updates?

Sorry guys for the question but how do I write the pass rule?

Just like any other, except instead of 'alert' or 'log' the action is
'pass'.  Have a look at this [0] for an example.  You can also find more
info in the Snort Users manual.

Should a create the file and name it as pass.rules or should I simply
add the following to the local rules.?

pass ip 10.13.110.254 53 -> 10.13.110.254 any

That's all up to you.  Depends on how you like to organize things.  :)
Since there's a blank local.rules in the default ruleset, I don't like to
use that filename.  It stops me from just copying the rules/* over to
/etc/snort/rules/.  I tend to use 'pass.rules' and 'my.rules' for pass and
local stuff.

You pick whatever way works for you.  Just remember that you did it! :)

Cheers!
