Hi,

I hope this is not a stupid question! A client is currently running a cluster 
of Proxmox1.6/OpenVZ servers making extensive use of Shorewall on both the 
hosts and the containers. I am investigating the possibility of upgrading to 
Proxmox v2.1.

In the Shorewall.net documentation about using Shorewall with OpenVZ there is a 
warning:

     "If you are running Debian Squeeze, Shorewall will not work in an OpenVZ 
container.
      This is a Debian OpenVZ issue and not a Shorewall issue."

Proxmox v2.1 runs on Debian Squeeze (6.0).

I assume this means that running the HOST on Debian Squeeze menas that you 
cannot run Shorewall in a container - but will it still work to protect the 
host or should it not be used at all. I am having trouble accessing any 
containers externally (e.g. a squid container) if I install Shorewall on the 
host (currently this is in a test VirtualBox environment so not ideal). I'd 
like to know whether this is because I've not got the setup correct or it just 
won't work!

Secondly - does this apply to the newer kernel (I'm running 2.6.32-14-pve) 
and/or newest Debian (6.0.6).

Thanks.
