Could you adopt a more flexible approach then and use names when 
KEEP_RT_TABLES=No and define numbers when that option is Yes?

That doesn't really tell me much. If my interface goes down, then the 
routes disappear and I also assume the traffic shaping policies 
associated with that interface do the same. I am not 100% certain about 
the rules though. So, when shorewall-init executes filrewall up <iface> 
is this redefined to the state it was before the firewall started?
