<para>Multi-ISP users will need to be aware of this one. When there
are entries in the providers file, Shorewall normally installs a
modified <filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename> during
<command>shorewall start</command> and <command>shorewall
restart</command> and restores a default file during
<command>shorewall stop</command>. Setting KEEP_RT_TABLES=Yes in
<ulink url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5)
stops Shorewall (Shorewall lite) from modifying
<filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename>.</para>
<para>Shorewall6 is also capable of modifying
<filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename> in a similar way.</para>
<para>Our recommendation to Multi-ISP users is to:</para>
