Of course.

I have just been thinking over the last week or two on how to bring the
two closer together.

On a somewhat related note there is this statement in the multi-isp
document:

        If you are using /etc/shorewall/providers because you have
        multiple internet connections, we recommend that you specify
        'balance' even if you don't need it. You can still use entries
        in /etc/shorewall/tcrules to force traffic to one provider or
        another.

What's the reasoning behind this?  I'm assuming that if I don't use
balance, I don't get a default route through all providers?
