AFAIK, the echo-reply will log for an amplifier. The extra two lines
should log the echo-reply headed back out of your network.

I know this has been discussed a million times, but I still haven't got
it.

 I understand this line:
permit icmp any 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 eq echo log-input
permit icmp any 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eq echo log-input

 this will log all ICMP traffic going to network and broadcast addresses
 this part I don't understand
permit icmp any 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 eq echo-reply log-input
permit icmp any 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eq echo-reply log-input

why would this router log echo-reply traffic going to network and
broadcast
addresses when the echo-reply should be the spoofed IP that the
perpetrator
sent.

The same explaination will apply to UDP. Anyone?
