<title>Description</title>
<para>This file is used to define zones in terms of subnets and/or
individual IP addresses. Most simple setups don't need to (should not)
place anything in this file.</para>
<para>The order of entries in this file is not significant in determining
zone composition. Rather, the order that the zones are declared in <ulink
url="shorewall-zones.html">shorewall6-zones</ulink>(5) determines the
order in which the records in this file are interpreted.</para>
<warning>
<para>The only time that you need this file is when you have more than
one zone connected through a single interface.</para>
</warning>
<warning>
<para>If you have an entry for a zone and interface in <ulink
url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5) then do
not include any entries in this file for that same (zone, interface)
pair.</para>
</warning>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is
followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
the alternate specification syntax).</para>

list the firewall zone in this column.</para>

composition of the zone. This capability was added in Shorewall
4.4.21.</para>

<listitem>
<para>shorewall6 should set up the infrastructure to pass
packets from this/these address(es) back to themselves. This
is necessary if hosts in this group use the services of a
transparent proxy that is a member of the group or if DNAT is
used to send requests originating from this group to a server
in the group.</para>

<para>Packets arriving from these hosts are checked for

that if the zone named in the ZONE column is specified as an

then you do NOT need to specify the 'ipsec' option
here.</para>
