You might as well put some iptables-restore at the endo of the "up"

your firewall per interface and have only the needed rules alive.

Wouldn't you be better putting the iptables-restore stuff in the pre-up
line? That way the firewall rules are in place before the interface is
live.

I'm not sure, but I guess not. Consider a line like

-A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

Will iptables accept the "-i eth0" before eth0 actually exists? I don't
remember.

Cheers.
