Hi all

I've some very specific questions about the Shorewall configuration:

1. I've got a network 10.0.0.0/22. From 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.255 are the
servers and from 10.0.1.1 - 10.0.3.254 are the clients.  The Router
running Bering/Shorewall is at 10.0.0.1. I want to divide this network in
two nested (correct word for that?) zones. A "server" and a "client"
zone.
Those zones aren't nested -- they are disjoint!

Is it possible to say:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
servers	Servers	Server Zone
clients	Clients	Client Zone
 -------

Maximum length of a zone name is 5 characters!

/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
-	eth1	detect	#no options

/etc/shorewall/hosts:
servers	eth1:10.0.0.0/24	dhcp
clients	eth1:10.0.1.0/23	dhcp

?
My question belongs especially to the /23 netmask but also if this is
possible at all.
That's wrong -- you need:

servers	eth1:10.0.0.0/24			dhcp
clients	eth1:10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/23	dhcp

2. There is a firewall connected to the Bering/Shorewall router (a
Watchguard Firebox).
A real "belt and suspenders" setup :-)

This Firewall runs some VPN IPSEC tunnels to remote
offices. This Firewall also connects our LAN to the internet. Because
internet traffic and "office" traffic comes in on the same interface, I
did the following:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
roffice1	RemoteOffice1	Remote Office 1
roffice2	RemoteOffice2	Remote Office 2
 --------

5 bytes max!

inet		Internet		Internet

/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
-	eth0	detect	#no options

/etc/shorewall/hosts:
roffice1	eth0:10.11.0.0/24		#no options
roffice2	eth0:10.10.0.0/24		#no options
inet		eth0:0.0.0.0/0		#no options

Is this setup correct? I want to distinguish the two remote offices from
the internet and specify rules in the policy and rules file.

Yes!

3. If I have an interface with two or more IP addresses, do I have to
specify the "multi" option in the interfaces file, hosts file or in both
files? (I want to route between them)
No -- Not if:

a) The addresses correspond to different zones; or
b) The addresses are in the same zone but you have either intra-zone rules or an intra-zone policy for that zone.

4. Last question is about the broadcast "detect" option in the interfaces
file. If I got two IPs on one interface but specify both subnets in the
hosts file, may I use the "detect" option? (This question also belongs to
question #3)
I assume that I _always_ can use the "detect" option when there is only
one IP assigned to an interface?

Yes -- "detect" only detects the first broadcast address.
