Shorewall users - Jul 2005 - Always shorewall restart ???

Hi Folks,

Another question :)

Always i change a rule did i need make shorewall restart ??
There is another fast way to just that new rule be used ?

Something like shorewall restart rule_abc
???
So only that rule come alive or die . :)
I say that because every time i make a change and do a shorewall restart
all my proxyarped pc''s die for some seconds ..
This make my customers crazy :)))

Thanks alot.

This was discussed some time back, and it was determined to be too hard
to implement within shorewall.  In many cases, you can run the iptables
command manually yourself to do what''s needed.  For example, if i want
to add POP3S access to net2dmz, i can just run:
	iptables -I net2dmz 2 -j ACCEPT -p tcp --dport 995

So don''t restart your firewall during business hours.  :-)
