In interfaces file ? I have define the interface as optional and I have  
a new error:

Adding Providers...
   WARNING: Interface auna is not usable -- Provider web2 (4) not Added
Setting up Traffic Control...
Preparing iptables-restore input...
Running /sbin/iptables-restore...
iptables-restore v1.3.6: Bad mac address `-j'
Error occurred at line: 66
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
   ERROR: iptables-restore Failed. Input is in 
/var/lib/shorewall/.iptables-restore-input
Restoring Shorewall...

I have another way to do a workaround adding the mac address to the 
table as permanent. (arp -s IP MAC)

One question, If I define one interface as optional and one of the 
providers is down, the entire interface is down ?
