I would also add that:

- - _IF_ you are _NOT_ NATting from LOC to DMZ.... and
- - _IF_ the Default-GW configured in your DMZ-Server is the router
connected in the NET zone... and
- - _IF_ the router is correctly configured with a static-route so to reach
LOC clients via the Shorewall-FW gateway

_THEN_

- - you can simply solve your problem by _ADDING_ a static route on the
DMZ-server so to reach the LOC-network directly via the Shorewall-GW


Without the last static-route, when clients in LOC send packets to
DMZ-Server, you're getting asymmetric routing:


=> From LOC to DMZ:  LOC-client -> Shorewall-GW -> DMZ-server
=> From DMZ to LOC:  DMZ-server -> DEF-GW on NET -> Shorewall-GW ->
LOC-client

and the the "DEF-GW on NET", probably, require some authentication to
forward traffic. That's why you are popped-up with authentication forms.

By adding the static route, you avoid such HOP and traffic flows
simmetrically in both directions.

HTH.

Bye,
DV
