Either way can be made secure. A single Shorewall configuration is less
work to set up. Again, I like a routed configuration -- the only time
that a routed configuration doesn't work is if the guests have dynamic
IP addresses and the ISP tracks MAC addresses. In that case, I don't
believe it is possible to successfully run a dhcp relay on the firewall.
