Shorewall users - Oct 2002 - Default policy question

Hi list,
I have a local dns cache listening on my shorewall''s locahost, i dont
want
to allow others hosts in my network to access my local cache, so, i have the
following question:
what''s the feault policy for fw -> fw access?, do i need a rule to
ACCEPT
from fw to fw tcp port 53 ? or i need to put localhost to localhost intead
of fw to fw ?

Thanks in advance,
Miguel

fw->fw access is always permitted without any rules or policy.
