My IPTables Firewall was working fine since last week. Now as I am starting iptables i m having the following message:

iptables v1.2.8: host/network `insider1.msg.vip.sc5.yahoo.com' not found
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Can anybody tell me that whats going on and why this message appearing.

How are you starting iptables? Whichever configuration it uses (/etc/sysconfig/iptables ?), has a line with that address, and the address is in an incorrect spot. This output is telling you that the line which contains this address cannot be processed because of a syntax error.
