Shorewall users - Apr 2008 - Treatment of an Interface with no assigned IP address.

Hi,
    I have an interface (eth0), that has no assigned IP address. My ISP provides
a PPP
over Ethernet connection (ppp0) through that interface. (And eth1 is the local
network.)

    What do I do about eth0 in the shorewall configuration ? I''m
ignoring it at the
moment, but I''d like to confirm if that''s the right thing to
do.

regards,
-pradeep.
