Florin:

I tried this, but maybe I am missing something.  You mean like:
172.16.96.0/19!172.16.96.151__172.16.96.152
or is there a missing symbol in the email?  I tried above and that is not working

I did learn that the masquerades are processed after the static nats so it really shouldn't be necessary to exclude these if they are snatted already, right?  However, I would like to be able to do this so could you clarify what __ means with an example?  I also noticed in the shorewall docs that they specified the subnet CIDR for each address:
172.16.96.0/19!172.16.96.151/19,172.16.96.152/19

Is that necessary in MNF?

Thanks

Doug

I am trying to set up a DHCP component to a network with Beta 2.

If I allow dhcp addresses, do I need to masquerade the interface to
allow the dhcp addresses on the interenet.  I tried this using

172.16.96.0/19!172.16.96.151,172.16.96.152
    

you cannot use commas in the web frontend. I might add a code like __ and
this will be translated into a comma in the backend ... 
 
  
as the masq setup since I have several servers on that subnet that are
static nat (151 and 152).  This causes major problems (errors when
shorewall tries to restart).
    

I presume you have something like the following: 

172.16.96.0/19!172.16.96.151,


which generates a shorewall error

  
Any thoughts.

Secondly:

Where are the files used to generate "rules" in /etc/shorewall/rules.

It says to edit the template file but the template file is a script and
I couldn't figure out where the rules originate.  I want a way to backup
just parts of the firewall (like the rules) without the entire
configuration backup.
    


/usr/share/naat/templates/etc are the templates and they use the variables
from /var/lib/naat/configuration : RulesList in your case (be careful if
you edit that by hand because it's a huge single line) :o)

  
I figured out a way to do this by editing the backup text file and
inserting the rules I want there but it would be easier to just copy in
the base files.
    

copy the RulesList line
