This is correct.  Multiple lines.  (also for outgoing-port-permit)

The lines are processed in the order encountered, in case you mix
permit and avoid lines in a weird way.  An easy way to write them is
to first permit some ranges and then after the permit lines, write
avoid lines with some specific cases you want to avoid.
