      <title>Nested and Overlapping Zones</title>

      <para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> and
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename> file allow you to define
      nested or overlapping zones. Such overlapping/nested zones are allowed
      and Shorewall processes zones in the order that they appear in the
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> file. So if you have nested
      zones, you want the sub-zone to appear before the super-zone and in the
      case of overlapping zones, the rules that will apply to hosts that
      belong to both zones is determined by which zone appears first in
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>.</para>

      <para>Hosts that belong to more than one zone may be managed by the
      rules of all of those zones. This is done through use of the special

      <title>Intra-Zone Traffic</title>

      <para>Shorewall allows a zone to be associated with more than one
      interface or with multiple networks that interface through a single
      interface. Beginning with Shorewall 1.4.1, Shorewall will ACCEPT all
      traffic from a zone to itself provided that there is no explicit policy
      governing traffic from that zone to itself (an explicit policy does not
      specify <quote>all</quote> in either the SOURCE or DEST column) and that
      there are no rules concerning connections from that zone to itself. If
      there is an explicit policy or if there are one or more rules, then
      traffic within the zone is handled just like traffic between zones
      is.</para>

      <para>Any time that you have multiple interfaces associated with a
      single zone, you should ask yourself if you really want traffic routed
      between those interfaces. Cases where you might not want that behavior
      are:</para>

      <orderedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>Multiple <quote>net</quote> interfaces to different ISPs. You
          don't want to route traffic from one ISP to the other through your
          firewall.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>Multiple VPN clients. You don't necessarily want them to all
          be able to communicate between themselves using your
          gateway/router.</para>
        </listitem>
      </orderedlist>

      <para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.0.0, you can control the traffic from
      the firewall to itself. As with any zone, fw-&gt;fw traffic is enabled
      by default. It is not necessary to define the loopback interface (lo) in
      <link linkend="Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</link> in order to
      define fw-&gt;fw rules or a fw-&gt;fw policy.</para>

      <caution>
        <para>So long as there are no intra-zone rules for a zone, all
        intra-zone traffic for that zone is accepted. As soon as you add a
        single rule from the zone to itself, then ALL traffic from that zone
        to itself is controlled by the rules and the first policy in
        <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> that matches the zone to
        itself.</para>
      </caution>
    </section>

    <section id="CONTINUE">
      <title>The CONTINUE policy</title>

      <para>Where zones are <link linkend="Nested">nested or
      overlapping</link>, the CONTINUE policy allows hosts that are within
      multiple zones to be managed under the rules of all of these zones.
      Let's look at an example:</para>

      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE    DISPLAY     COMMENTS
sam      Sam         Sam's system at home
net      Internet    The Internet
loc      Local       Local Network</programlisting>

      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename>:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE     INTERFACE     BROADCAST     OPTIONS
-         eth0          detect        dhcp,norfc1918
loc       eth1          detect</programlisting>

      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename>:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE     HOST(S)                     OPTIONS
net       eth0:0.0.0.0/0
sam       eth0:206.191.149.197</programlisting>

      <note>
        <para>Sam's home system is a member of both the <emphasis
        role="bold">sam</emphasis> zone and the <emphasis
        role="bold">net</emphasis> zone and <link linkend="Nested">as
        described above</link> , that means that <emphasis
        role="bold">sam</emphasis> must be listed before <emphasis
        role="bold">net</emphasis> in
        <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>.</para>
      </note>

      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename>:</para>

      <programlisting>#SOURCE      DEST        POLICY       LOG LEVEL
loc          net         ACCEPT
sam          all         CONTINUE
net          all         DROP         info
all          all         REJECT       info</programlisting>

      <para>The second entry above says that when Sam is the client,
      connection requests should first be process under rules where the source
      zone is <emphasis role="bold">sam</emphasis> and if there is no match
      then the connection request should be treated under rules where the
      source zone is <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>. It is important
      that this policy be listed BEFORE the next policy (<emphasis
      role="bold">net</emphasis> to <emphasis
      role="bold">all</emphasis>).</para>

      <para>Partial <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>

      <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE    DEST            PROTO    DEST PORT(S)
...
DNAT      sam       loc:192.168.1.3 tcp      ssh
DNAT      net       loc:192.168.1.5 tcp      www
...</programlisting>

      <para>Given these two rules, Sam can connect to the firewall's internet
      interface with ssh and the connection request will be forwarded to
      192.168.1.3. Like all hosts in the <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>
      zone, Sam can connect to the firewall's internet interface on TCP port
      80 and the connection request will be forwarded to 192.168.1.5. The
      order of the rules is not significant.</para>

      <para id="Exclude">Sometimes it is necessary to suppress port forwarding
      for a sub-zone. For example, suppose that all hosts can SSH to the
      firewall and be forwarded to 192.168.1.5 EXCEPT Sam. When Sam connects
      to the firewall's external IP, he should be connected to the firewall
      itself. Because of the way that Netfilter is constructed, this requires
      two rules as follows:</para>

      <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE    DEST            PROTO    DEST PORT(S)
...
DNAT      sam       fw              tcp      ssh
DNAT      net       loc:192.168.1.3 tcp      ssh
...</programlisting>

      <para>The first rule allows Sam SSH access to the firewall. The second
      rule says that any clients from the net zone with the exception of those
      in the <quote>sam</quote> zone should have their connection port
      forwarded to 192.168.1.3. If you need to exclude more than one zone in
      this way, you can list the zones separated by commas (e.g.,
      net!sam,joe,fred). This technique also may be used when the ACTION is
      REDIRECT.</para>

          <para>The ACTION may optionally be followed by <quote>:</quote> and
          a <ulink url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> (example:
          REJECT:info or ACCEPT:debug). This causes the packet to be logged at
          the specified level prior to being processed according to the
          specified ACTION. Note: if the ACTION is LOG then you MUST specify a
          syslog level. Beginning with Shorewall version 2.0.2 Beta 1, a
          <firstterm>log tag</firstterm> may be specified. A log tag is a
          string of alphanumeric characters and is specified by following the
          log level with ":" and the log tag. Example:<programlisting>ACCEPT:info:ftp	net	dmz	tcp	21
</programlisting>The log tag is appended to the log prefix generated by the
          LOGPREFIX variable in <filename><link
          linkend="Conf">/etc/shorewall/conf</link></filename>. If
          "ACCEPT:info" generates the log prefix "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:"
          then "ACCEPT:info:ftp" will generate "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:ftp "
          (note the trailing blank). The maximum length of a log prefix
          supported by iptables is 29 characters; if a larger prefix is
          generated, Shorewall will issue a warning message and will truncate
          the prefix to 29 characters.</para>

          <para>Specifying a log level for a &lt;<emphasis>defined
          action</emphasis>&gt; will log all invocations of the action. For

          <para>will log all net-&gt;dmz traffic that has not been handled by
          earlier rules. That's probably not what you want. If you want to log
          the FTP connections that are actually accepted, you need to log
          within the action itself. One way to do that would be to copy
          <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.AllowFTP</filename> to
          <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> and modify the

          <para>If DNAT or REDIRECT is the ACTION and the ORIGINAL DEST column
          is left empty, any connection request arriving at the firewall from
          the SOURCE that matches the rule will be forwarded or redirected.
          This works fine for connection requests arriving from the internet
          where the firewall has only a single external IP address. When the
          firewall has multiple external IP addresses or when the SOURCE is
          other than the internet, there will usually be a desire for the rule
          to only apply to those connection requests directed to particular IP
          addresses (see Example 2 below for another usage). Those IP
          addresses are specified in the ORIGINAL DEST column as a
          comma-separated list.</para>

          <para>If this list begins with <quote>!</quote> then the rule will
          only apply if the original destination address matches none of the
          addresses listed.</para>

          <para>The IP address(es) may be optionally followed by
          <quote>:</quote> and a second IP address. This latter address, if
          present, is used as the source address for packets forwarded to the
          server (This is called <quote>Source NAT</quote> or SNAT.</para>

          <warning>
            <para>Specifying SNAT in a DNAT rule is deprecated and this
            feature will be removed from Shorewall in version 2.1.0. An entry
            in <link linkend="Masq">/etc/shorewall/masq</link> can serve the
            same purpose and is the preferred method of performing SNAT with

            example.</para>
          </warning>

          <note>
            <para>When using SNAT, it is a good idea to qualify the source
            with an IP address or subnet. Otherwise, it is likely that SNAT
            will occur on connections other than those described in the rule.
            The reason for this is that SNAT occurs in the Netfilter
            POSTROUTING hook where it is not possible to restrict the scope of
            a rule by incoming interface.</para>

    <para>The /etc/shorewall/masq file is used to define classical IP
    Masquerading and Source Network Address Translation (SNAT). There is one
    entry in the file for each subnet that you want to masquerade. In order to
    make use of this feature, you must have NAT enabled.</para>

    <para>Columns are:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term>INTERFACE</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The interface that will masquerade the subnet; this is
          normally your internet interface. This interface name can be
          optionally qualified by adding <quote>:</quote> and a subnet or host
          IP. When this qualification is added, only packets addressed to that
          host or subnet will be masqueraded. Beginning with Shorewall version
          1.4.10, the interface name can be qualified with ":" followed by a
          comma separated list of hosts and/or subnets. If this list begins
          with <quote>!</quote> (e.g.,
          <quote>eth0:!192.0.2.8/29,192.0.2.32/29</quote>) then only packets
          addressed to destinations <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis>
          listed will be masqueraded; otherwise (e.g.,
          <quote>eth0:192.0.2.8/29,192.0.2.32/29</quote>), traffic will be
          masqueraded if it <emphasis role="bold">does</emphasis> match one of
          the listed addresses.</para>

          <para>Beginning with Shorewall version 1.3.14, if you have set
          ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in <xref linkend="Conf" />, you can cause
          Shorewall to create an alias <emphasis>label</emphasis> of the form
          <emphasis>interfacename:digit</emphasis> (e.g., eth0:0) by placing
          that label in this column. See example 5 below. Alias labels created
          in this way allow the alias to be visible to the ipconfig utility.
          <emphasis role="bold">THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT THIS LABEL IS GOOD
          FOR AND IT MAY NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ELSE IN YOUR SHOREWALL
          CONFIGURATION.</emphasis></para>

          <para>Normally MASQUERADE/SNAT rules are evaluated after one-to-one
          NAT rules defined in the <link
          linkend="NAT"><filename>/etc/shorewall/nat</filename></link> file.
          Beginning with Shorewall 2.1.1, if you preceed the interface name
          with a plus sign ("+") then the rule will be evaluated before
          one-to-one NAT.</para>

          <para>Examples:</para>

          <programlisting>+eth0
+eth1:192.0.2.32/27</programlisting>

          <para>Also new in the Shorewall 2.1 series, the effect of
          ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes can be negated for an entry by following the
          interface name by ":" but no digit.</para>

          <para>Examples:</para>

          <programlisting>eth0:
eth1::192.0.2.32/27

      <varlistentry>
        <term>SUBNET</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The subnet that you want to have masqueraded through the
          INTERFACE. This may be expressed as a single IP address, a subnet or
          an interface name. In the latter instance, the interface must be
          configured and started before Shorewall is started as Shorewall will
          determine the subnet based on information obtained from the
          <quote>ip</quote> utility.</para>

          <caution>
            <para>When using Shorewall 1.3.13 or earlier, when an interface
            name is specified, Shorewall will only masquerade traffic from the
            first subnetwork on the named interface; if the interface
            interfaces to more that one subnetwork, you will need to add
            additional entries to this file for each of those other
            subnetworks. Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, shorewall will
            masquerade/SNAT traffic from any host that is routed through the
            named interface.</para>
          </caution>

          <para>The subnet may be optionally followed by <quote>!</quote> and
          a comma-separated list of addresses and/or subnets that are to be
          excluded from masquerading.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>ADDRESS</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The source address to be used for outgoing packets. This
          column is optional and if left blank, the current primary IP address
          of the interface in the first column is used. If you have a static
          IP on that interface, listing it here makes processing of output
          packets a little less expensive for the firewall. If you specify an
          address in this column, it must be an IP address configured on the
          INTERFACE or you must have ADD_SNAT_ALIASES enabled in <xref
          linkend="Conf" />. Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.6, you may
          include a range of IP addresses in this column to indicate that
          Netfilter should use the addresses in the range in round-robin
          fashion. Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.7, you may include a
          list of ranges and/or addresses in this column; again, Netfilter
          will use all listed ranges/addresses in rounde-robin fashion.</para>

          <para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.2.0, you may also specify the
          source port range to be used (the PROTO column must specify tcp or
          udp) by following the address or address range if any with ":" and
          the port range (in the format &lt;<emphasis>low

    <para>If you want to use proxy ARP on an entire sub-network, I suggest
    that you look at the <ulink
    url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/">Proxy ARP Subnet
    Mini HOWTO</ulink>. If you decide to use the technique described in that
    HOWTO, you can set the proxy_arp flag for an interface
    (<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/</filename>&lt;<emphasis>interface</emphasis>&gt;<filename>/proxy_arp</filename>)
    by including the <emphasis role="bold">proxyarp</emphasis> option in the
    interface's record in <xref linkend="Interfaces" />. When using Proxy ARP
    sub-netting, you do <emphasis role="bold">NOT</emphasis> include any
    entries in /etc/shorewall/proxyarp.</para>

    <para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/proxyarp </filename>file is used to
    define <ulink url="ProxyARP.htm">Proxy ARP</ulink>. The file is typically
    used for enabling Proxy ARP on a small set of systems since you need one
    entry in this file for each system using proxy ARP. Columns are:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term>ADDRESS</term>

        <listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>the interface that connects to the system. If the interface is
          obvious from the subnetting, you may enter <quote>-</quote> in this
          column.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>EXTERNAL</term>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>HAVEROUTE</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If you already have a route through INTERFACE to ADDRESS, this
          column should contain <quote>Yes</quote> or <quote>yes</quote>. If
          you want Shorewall to add the route, the column should contain
          <quote>No</quote> or <quote>no</quote>.</para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>PERSISTENT</term>

        <listitem>

          <quote>No</quote> or <quote>no</quote> in the PERSISTENT column or
          if you leave the column empty, that route will be deleted if you
          issue a <command>shorewall stop</command> or <command>shorewall
          clear</command> command. If you place <quote>Yes</quote> or
          <quote>yes</quote> in the PERSISTENT column, then those commands
          will not cause the route to be deleted.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>

    <note>
      <para>After you have made a change to the
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/proxyarp file</filename>, you may need to flush
      the ARP cache of all routers on the LAN segment connected to the
      interface specified in the EXTERNAL column of the change/added entry(s).
      If you are having problems communicating between an individual host (A)
      on that segment and a system whose entry has changed, you may need to
      flush the ARP cache on host A as well.</para>

      <para>ISPs typically have ARP configured with long TTL (hours!) so if
      your ISPs router has a stale cache entry (as seen using <quote>tcpdump
      -nei &lt;external interface&gt; host &lt;IP addr&gt;</quote>), it may
      take a long while to time out. I personally have had to contact my ISP
      and ask them to delete a stale entry in order to restore a system to
      working order after changing my proxy ARP settings.</para>

    <warning>
      <para>Do not use Proxy ARP and FreeS/Wan on the same system unless you
      are prepared to suffer the consequences. If you start or restart
      Shorewall with an IPSEC tunnel active, the proxied IP addresses are

      the interface that you specify in the INTERFACE column of
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/proxyarp</filename>. I haven't had the time to

          the --log-prefix setting for Shorewall logging rules. It contains a
          <quote>printf</quote> formatting template which accepts three
          arguments (the chain name, logging rule number (optional) and the
          disposition). To use LOGFORMAT with <ulink

          <programlisting>LOGFORMAT="fp=%s:%d a=%s "</programlisting>

          <para>If the LOGFORMAT value contains the substring
          <quote>%d</quote> then the logging rule number is calculated and

          control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for use by
          people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when the network
          interfaces come up rather than when the firewall is started. If that
          is what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and do
          not supply an <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcstart</filename> file. That
          way, your traffic shaping rules can still use the
          <quote>fwmark</quote> classifier based on packet marking defined in
          /etc/shorewall/tcrules. If not specified, CLEAR_TC=Yes is

          the marking specified in the <ulink
          url="traffic_shaping.htm#tcrules">tcrules file</ulink> to occur in
          that chain rather than in the PREROUTING chain. This permits you to
          mark inbound traffic based on its destination address when SNAT or
          Masquerading are in use. To determine if your kernel has a FORWARD
          chain in the mangle table, use the <quote><command>/sbin/shorewall
          show mangle</command></quote> command; if a FORWARD chain is
          displayed then your kernel will support this option. If this option
          is not specified or if it is given the empty value (e.g.,

            <para>For each logging rule, the first time the rule is reached,
            the packet will be logged; in fact, since the burst is 5, the

            seconds (1 minute divided by the rate of 10) before a message will
            be logged from the rule, regardless of how many packets reach it.
            Also, every 6 seconds which passes without matching a packet, one
            of the bursts will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 30

    encrypt traffic to hosts in a zone and to decrypt traffic from hosts in a
    zone. Use of this file requires a 2.6 kernel that includes the
    IPSEC-Netfilter patches and the policy match patch. Your iptables must
    also support policy match. For additional information, see the <ulink
    url="IPSEC-2.6.html">Shorewall Kernel 2.6 IPSEC
    documentation</ulink>.</para>

            <member>No - Only traffic to/from some of the hosts in this zone
            is encrypted. Those encrypted hosts are designated using the
            <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis> option in <link

        <glossdef>
          <para>Optional parameters that identify the security policy and
          security associations used in communication with hosts in this zone.
          A comma-separated list of the following:</para>

          <simplelist>
            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">proto[!]=ah|esp|ipcomp</emphasis></member>

            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">mode[!]=transport|tunnel</emphasis></member>

            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">reqid[!]=&lt;<emphasis>number</emphasis>&gt;</emphasis>
            — A number assiged to a security policy using the
            unique:&lt;number&gt; as the SPD level. See setkey(8).</member>

            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">tunnel-src[!]=&lt;<emphasis>address</emphasis>&gt;[/&lt;<emphasis>mask</emphasis>&gt;]</emphasis>
            — Tunnel Source; may only be included with mode=tunnel. Since
            tunnel source and destination are dependent on the direction of
            the traffic, this option and the following one should only be
            included in the IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS columns.</member>

            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">tunnel-dst[!]=&lt;<emphasis>address</emphasis>&gt;[/&lt;<emphasis>mask</emphasis>&gt;]
            </emphasis>— Tunnel Destination; may only be included with
            mode=tunnel.</member>

            <member><emphasis role="bold">mss</emphasis>=&lt;number&gt; — Sets
            the MSS field in TCP syn packets forwarded to/from this zone. May
            be used to compensate for the lack of IPSEC pseuo-deviceses with
            their own MTU in the 2.6 Kernel IPSEC implementation. If specified
            in the IN OPTIONS, TCP SYN packets from the zone will have MSS
            altered; if specified in the OUT OPTIONS, TCP SYN packets to the
            zone will have MSS altered.</member>

            <member><emphasis
            role="bold">spi[!]=&lt;<emphasis>number</emphasis>&gt;</emphasis>
            — The security parameter index of the Security Association. Since
            a different SA is used for incoming and outgoing traffic, this
            option should only be listed in the IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS
            columns.</member>

            <member><emphasis role="bold">strict</emphasis> — Must be
            specified when SPD rules are used (e.g., esp encapsulated with
            ah).</member>

            <member><emphasis role="bold">next</emphasis> — Separates rules
            when strict is used.</member>
