this may have caused.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="Left">
If the following conditions were met:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="Left">
A LAN segment attached to the firewall was served by a DHCP server
running on the firewall.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="Left">
There were entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts that referred to the
interface to that LAN segment.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p align="Left">
then up until now it has been necessary to include entries for 0.0.0.0
and 255.255.255.255 for that interface in /etc/shorewall/hosts. <a href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.1.10/firewall">
This version of the firewall script</a>
makes those additions unnecessary provided that you simply include
"dhcp" in the options for the interface in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.
Install the script into the location pointed to by the symbolic link
/etc/shorewall/firewall.</p>

This problem has also been corrected in version 1.1.11.</p>
