If you had to enable it on the "public" interface, the traffic wouldn't
even get to your router if it were not set.

Shorewall/iptables work at layer 3.

You appear to have a three-interface router with eth0 apparently being
the interface that connects to the internet.

Behind that router, you have two networks:

a) 209.147.127.208/28 - eth2
b) 66:113.100.32/27   - eth1

All hosts in network a) must have their default gateway set to
209.147.127.209. All hosts in network b) must have their default gateway
set to 66.113.100.33. from the internet, both of those networks must be
routed via 66.113.102.253. If you configure your networks that way, then
without Shorewall even installed, all hosts will be able to communicate
with all other hosts.
