Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.  What I was wondering though is how
much smaller shorewall-lite's footprint will get when it's work is done
by iptables-restore.

I'd think that hopefully, a shorewall-lite could be loaded with only two
round trips... one to gather information and one to ship the result and
run iptables-restore.
