Blocking outgoing request based on user + IP/host restriction

Hi - I've had a lot of success blocking all outgoing client requests from the apache user (www-data) using firehol. I have the following line in my firehol conf: client all accept user not www-data This blocks all outgoing requests from things like PHP code etc. Whilst I like this setup, its a little too restrictive and I'd like to open it up to allow access to a few api hosts (paypal for instance). I thought just adding the following line above the www-data restriction would do this: client all accept dst "www.paypal.com DNSIP1 DNSIP2" client all accept user not www-data So I was expecting this to allow all requests to my DNS hosts and paypal (even if they are from the www-data user), but block all other requests from the www-data user. It doesnt appear to do this though. Is there an easy way to do what I want?
