Shorewall users - Jan 2003 - Extending syntax

Hello !

I have began to use Shorewall and I think there is a missing
feature. Suppose that I have a given rule and that I want to add the
condition that this rule matches only if the ToS bit x is set. There
is no easy way to do this.

Would it be possible to add a field "misc" which will allows the user
to add specific iptables switches ? This misc field which just be
appended to the resulting iptables rules.

I think this sort of thing should be handled in an extension script.
