Shorewall users - Aug 2008 - Shorewall and Ubuntu Server 8.04

Hi *,
i''m trying to configure Shorewall 4.06 budled with Ubuntu 8.04 in front
of Xen 3.2.

I have several boxes with Xen and Shorewall up and running, but starting
from Ubuntu 8.04 the panorama is very different because they (debian or
ubuntu maintainers) are setting eth0 as the bridge interface (why???).

I was used to bridge eth0, peth0 and all the vifs under xenbr0, but now
it seems impossible (even if impossible doesn''t exist).
I tryed to configure xenbr0 by hands but logs say that forwarding of
bridged interfaces is not supported anymore.

does someone have the same problem?

regards,
