Shorewall users - Jun 2006 - new route-tables are kept after deleting providers

I think this is a problem, or perhapes someone could give a hint so I dont 
give any more false-positives.

I put in ''provides'' a line for each provider I have, but after
an error show
up (I also discovery on the site this know bug) I removed all lines from 
''providers'' and restart shorewall.

The problem :
- after I removed the providers and restart shorewall I did a
''shorewall
dump'' and discover there were still ''route tables''
for each original
provider
- the problem only corrected after a restart my linux (the easier way :) )

And that behavior is documented in the Shorewall MultiISP article. There
is also a workaround described there.
