Ok, all the examples in the shorewall documentation I'm seeing say that
I need the "routeback" option with bridge devices.  I'm fine with that.

This option doesn't tell me how to treat the bridge device as two
different interfaces which seem to be needed for shorewall to work.

All the examples in the shorewall documentation I'm seeing assume that I
would have several interfaces rather than only one.

This example uses two interfaces while I would have only one.

This example isn't really explained.  It refers you to [1], which also
requires two interfaces.  There is other information linked to it which
brings tunneling/tapping stuff into the setup and doesn't explain
anything about that.  The example script it refers to is probably
deprecated: It's 4 years old, and there are already start-scripts for
qemu/kvm in effect in Debian.

Do I need tunneling/tapping?

Well, [2] even says clearly:


1.) "IP addresses are properties of systems, not of interfaces."

2.) "All IP addresses configured on firewall interfaces are in the $FW
    (fw) zone."


Number 2.) is definitely *not* what I want.

Would I need to create a tunneling/tapping interface for the host and
one for each guest to circumvent 2.)?  Would that be safe to do?  Would
that be better than using the currently unused physical interface eth0
instead of the currently used eth1 to make a(n independent) bridge
device? --- I'm probably not going to have more than two guests running
at the same time.
