Need to start iptables first before firestater?

Hi, I think this is a very simple question but I just need to reassure myself(I am kinda paranoid )
This is the DAEMON entry in my rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pcmcia network firestarter !netfs crond sshd fam)

Do I need to add iptables to the list?
Or the firestater script will handle that for me?
Thanks.

firestarter should handle it for you. but you should put your network AFTER your firewall startup.
