<para>Shorewall makes no attempt to consolidate the routing
rules added when <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis> is
not specified. So, if you have multiple IP addresses on a
provider interface, you may be able to replace the rules
that Shorewall generates with one or two rules in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename>. In that
case, you can specify <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis>
to suppress Shorewall's rule generation. See the <link
