    <para>It is important that you read all of the sections on this page where
    the version number mentioned in the section title is later than what you
    are currently running.</para>

    <para>In the descriptions that follows, the term <emphasis>group</emphasis>
    refers to a particular network or subnetwork (which may be
    <literal>0.0.0.0/0</literal> or it may be a host address) accessed through
    a particular interface.</para>

    <para>Examples:</para>

    <simplelist columns="1" type="vert">
      <member><literal>eth0:0.0.0.0/0</literal></member>

      <member><literal>eth2:192.168.1.0/24</literal></member>

        <para>The meaning of <varname>ROUTE_FILTER=Yes</varname> has changed.
        Previously this setting was documented as causing route filtering to
        occur on all network interfaces; this didn&#39;t work. Beginning with
        this release, <varname>ROUTE_FILTER=Yes</varname> causes route
        filtering to occur on all interfaces brought up while Shorewall is
        running. This means that it may be appropriate to set
        <varname>ROUTE_FILTER=Yes</varname> and use the routefilter option in

    <para>There are some cases where you may want to handle traffic from a
    particular group to itself. While I personally think that such a setups
    are ridiculous, there are two cases covered in this documentation where it
    can occur: <itemizedlist><listitem><para><ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq2">In FAQ
    #2</ulink></para></listitem><listitem><para><ulink
    url="Shorewall_Squid_Usage.html">When running <application>Squid</application>

    If you have either of these cases, you will want to review the current
    documentation and change your configuration accordingly.</para>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Version &#62;= 1.4.1</title>

    <itemizedlist mark="bullet">
      <listitem>
        <para>Beginning with Version 1.4.1, traffic between groups in the same
        zone is accepted by default. Previously, traffic from a zone to itself
        was treated just like any other traffic; any matching rules were
        applied followed by enforcement of the appropriate policy. With 1.4.1
        and later versions, unless you have explicit rules for traffic from Z
        to Z or you have an explicit Z to Z policy (where &#34;Z&#34; is some
        zone) then traffic between the groups in zone Z will be accepted. If
        you do have one or more explicit rules for Z to Z or if you have an
        explicit Z to Z policy then the behavior is as it was in prior
        versions.</para>

        <orderedlist numeration="arabic">
          <listitem>
            <para>If you have a Z Z ACCEPT policy for a zone to allow traffic
            between two interfaces to the same zone, that policy can be
            removed and traffic between the interfaces will traverse fewer
            rules than previously.</para>
          </listitem>

          <listitem>
            <para>If you have a Z Z DROP or Z Z REJECT policy or you have
            Z-&#62;Z rules then your configuration should not require any
            change.</para>
          </listitem>

          <listitem>
            <para>If you are currently relying on a implicit policy (one that
            has &#34;all&#34; in either the SOURCE or DESTINATION column) to
            prevent traffic between two interfaces to a zone Z and you have no
            rules for Z-&#62;Z then you should add an explicit DROP or REJECT
            policy for Z to Z.</para>
          </listitem>
        </orderedlist>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>Sometimes, you want two separate zones on one interface but you
        don&#39;t want Shorewall to set up any infrastructure to handle
        traffic between them. <example><title>The <filename>zones</filename>,
        <filename>interfaces</filename> and, <filename>hosts</filename> file
        contents</title><programlisting>
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>zones</filename>
z1	Zone1	The first Zone
z2	Zone2	The second Zone

<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>interfaces</filename>
z2	eth1	192.168.1.255

<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>hosts</filename>
z1	eth1:192.168.1.3
					</programlisting></example> Here, zone z1 is nested in zone z2 and the
        firewall is not going to be involved in any traffic between these two
        zones. Beginning with Shorewall 1.4.1, you can prevent Shorewall from
        setting up any infrastructure to handle traffic between z1 and z2 by
        using the new NONE policy: <example><title>The contents of
        <filename>policy</filename></title><programlisting>
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>policy</filename>
z1	z2	NONE
z2	z1	NONE
					</programlisting></example> Note that NONE policies are generally used in
        pairs unless there is asymetric routing where only the traffic on one
        direction flows through the firewall and you are using a NONE polciy
        in the other direction.</para>

        interface option is no longer available so if you want to route
        traffic between two subnetworks on the same interface then I recommend

    (If the option is not set in your <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename>shorewall.conf
    then <varname>OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes</varname> is assumed). I don&#39;t
