I've set up a VMware image with Ubuntu 10.04 Server x64 to test out
shorewall-init. It has a single NIC with 2 VLANs. Both VLANs are
optional in /etc/shorewall/interfaces, eth0 isn't configured. The idea
is that if any interface on the firewall is working then I'd like it
to bring up everything it can so that I can get in and fix whatever
might not come up.

The docs suggested I could leave startup=0 in /etc/default/shorewall,
but when I do the firewall does not start on a reboot of the server.
If I ifdown/ifup one of the VLANs then the firewall starts as
expected.

There are some workarounds that do make the firewall start on a reboot:

Setting startup=1 in /etc/default/shorewall
Setting REQUIRE_INTERFACE=Yes (this one seems appropriate for my situation)
Setting either of the interfaces to required instead of optional
