It's from this address that DCHP replies are sent to my Bering box. This
is received by pump, yes?

Does pump already handle letting DHCP replies through shorewall? Or will
I have to configure this myself?


There are two things to look at here:


a) Be sure that you have set the 'dhcp' option for your external interface in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.
b) Because your ISP is using RFC 1918 addresses within its infrastructure, you need to review Shorewall FAQ #14a (http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq14a).
