<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>
