Thanks.

I initially had some trouble getting this to work -- it appears that the
"routes" file is ignored entirely *unless* you have a "providers" file *and*
there is at least one provider defined in the "providers" file.  I confirmed
this by doing "shorewall -v check" and noting which files the debug output
said were being checked.

I had assumed that I wouldn't need a "providers" file -- or that I could get
away with an empty "providers" file -- if I specified the "main" routing table
instead of a provider for each of my routes.  But in order to get Shorewall to
look at my "routes" file and create the routes specified therein, I needed to
define a provider in the "providers" file, even though I'm not using this
provider.

This seems like a bug/misfeature w/r/t specifying routes that use "main" --
but at least I have a workaround for it.

Again, I'm running Shorewall 4.5.16.1 on an Ubuntu 13.0 system.
