thanks for the tip. Replicating the exact configuration in a VM would be a bit 
tedious
since that machine has about 12 interfaces. What I could start with, though, is 
testing
the migration of my small VPN server which only has two interfaces and a much 
simpler
shorewall configuration.

Kind regards,

Timo
