The entry with a hyphen (-) instead of a number is the ZyWALL’s (non-configurable)

configured rule. It is not an editable rule. To apply other behavior, configure a rule 
that traffic will match so the ZyWALL will not have to use the default policy.

This is the zone on the ZyWALL the user is allowed or denied to access.
Address
This is the object name of the IP address(es) with which the computer is allowed or 
denied to send DNS queries.
