The last item on your list is "3)" I take it? :-)

Got it now. Maybe you can include this as part of the "chain:COUNT|JUMP" 
explanation in that man page. So, to if I want to "mimic" what shorewall 
currently does in rules and create a "net2dmz" accounting zone, the 
following needs to be done (assuming eth0 serves the "net" zone, while 
eth1 - the "dmz"):

SECTION FORWARD
dmz_fwd - - eth1
net2dmz dmz_fwd eth0

That should create the following iptables rules:

:accountfwd
:dmz_fwd
:net2dmz
-A FORWARD -j accountfwd
-A accountfwd -i eth1 -j dmz_fwd
-A dmz_fwd -o eth0 -j net2dmz

Correct?
