I assumed wrongly.  And yes, the documentation is rather clear.  Nevertheless, 
is there a way to re-apply a firewall/traffic control config 

in such a way that it'd be quicker than the original compile ?  Perhaps by 
using /var/lib/shorewall/firewall ?  For that matter, would simply executing 
this file save the compilation step ?

Thanks.

The compilation step is the same either way.
