Shorewall users - Feb 2003 - Question about the routestopped file

How do I get an interface to communicate on both a regular IP address and a 
multicast IP address in the routestopped file?  comma separating them 
doesn''t work at all and multiple lines for the same interface
don''t work
either.

EXAMPLES:

eth0:   192.168.10.3,224.0.0.18
OR
eth0:   192.168.10.3, 224.0.0.18
OR
eth0:   192.168.10.3/24,224.0.0.18 (not trying to talk to the whole 
192.168.10 class C so this isn''t what I want, if I understand the 
routestopped file correctly)
OR
eth0:   192.168.10.3
eth0:   224.0.0.18


Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum 
immane mittam.

You can use the second option (two entries) unless you download and
install the latest errata version of the firewall script in which case
you can use a comma-separated list. If you consult
http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm, you will see
that a comma-separated list can never have embedded white space.
