Shorewall users - Dec 2003 - why accounting doesn''t take zone instead of interface?

Hi,

the accounting doesn''t cope with "net:1.2.3.4" but handles
"eth0:1.2.3.4". Since "net" is "eth0" (defined in
interfaces) wouldn''t
be possible to make it working with the zones as well?

I just asked because I didn''t know if it was possible or even logical
to
allow zones there. Glad to know it''s possible and also logical. But
don''t expect me hacking Shorewall anytime soon - I''m busy with
so many
other things now - for example the shorewall accounting output needs to
be fed to rrd somehow. Looking into that right now.

would be great if you could share your experience with rrd/mrtg when you
are done with your task, and post your solution or some documentation.
would be interesting for the community i guess.

thanks.
