Depends on the package used for setting up the firewall. If
none, anywhere, probably in /etc. I have ipchains.rules in
/etc and a script "packetfilter" in /etc/init.d. If using
ipmasq, /etc/ipmasq.

I've done it both ways, and I feel better about using
ipmasq.

You mean /etc/network/interfaces?
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
