The 'detectnets' interface option has always been a rather silly feature.
For incoming packets, it duplicates the function of the 'routefilter'
option. It provides no value on output since it enforces the same thing that
the routing table does. In other words, if you set 'routefilter' and
'log_martians' you get the same effect.

I've decided to remove the 'detectnet' option from future versions of
Shorewall-perl. Shorewall-perl 4.0.4 will issue a warning message that the
option is going away; Shorewall-perl will issue a warning message that
support for the option has been dropped.
