Hello,

  Is there any mechanism provided by Shorewall that would handle
MASQ interfaces that are not up when Shorewall starts ?  The
documentation mentions - if I remember correctly - that the use
of interfaces for such purpose is obsolete(d).  But there are
some situations in which an interface must be specified, such as
using dynamic ppp links and dhcp configured links.  

  It could be that Shorewall by itself provides no handling of
such since it is not a daemon, but I'm asking before writing a
daemon that would restart Shorewall when the specified interface
comes up (using netlink), and would start Shorewall w/o that
interface in configuration and wait for it to be up.

Thanks for any suggestions/comments !
